well, i edited at the bottom there, which may explain, but a central point is that Acts 2:38 never mentions salvation, and, like tacking on with the evidence of speaking in tongues, it may be demonstrated that one's understanding must be subtly manipulated in order to accept that Acts 2:38 is all one needs to attain heaven. What did you "repent" of? Surely not what they repented of; the description for them is

41Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.

The Fellowship of the Believers

42They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Well if verse 42 to 47 is commitment to the Kingdom and such commitment is what one needs for salvation we are all doomed! However who are the people mentioned in the last part of 47?
