And the question doesn't seek to invalidate Christian baptism as your knee jerk reaction seems to say you fear. The disciples at Ephesus were rebaptized by Paul - for whatever reason Paul had to do so. And that's the part that I said I was "hazy" on. What is accomplished by baptism in Jesus name for those who (like the disciples of John) had already received the remission of sins?

Well if we go by what you said in a prior post, they needed to believe and be baptized into the One who was to come to have those sins remitted. It's the blood of Christ, the One who was to come that remits sins.
