And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Paul went into the city as he was commanded of the Lord and fasted! His obedience and his fasting are signs of a repentant heart. But the immediate response of "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do" shows an change of heart along with the trembling and astonishment.
What do you expect from someone who repents?

Who denies that a repentant heart will show the fruit of faith ... Mizpeh ... we are not discussing the need to be baptized as a commandment or responding through faith... but rather this notion that baptism washes sin ...
Moreover, that it must have the proper articulations for it to be efficacious.
Keep your head in the game, please. No red herrings ... no no rabbit trails.
