Why is that people have to explain the sequence of understanding of this text over and over. Believeth HAS CONTEXT and responsibility to what is said and known. He that Believeth AND IS (POINTING DIRECTION) baptized shall be SAVED! he that believeth not (DENIES DIRECTION of MESSAGE AND RESPONSIBLITY) shall be condemned. If you don't BELIEVE how are you going to do what BELIEVETH is TO DO and be saved which is be BAPTIZED? DIRECTION by CONTEXT of what BELIEVETH IS. REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED is the same a BELIEVE and BE BAPTIZED! Both repent and believe give motion due to CONTEXT of the knowledge given in the message. Baptism is the RESULT OF THE MESSAGE and response of FAITH REALIZED!
