You have to "keep reading."
I got my doctrine from this passage.

Who was he "commanding?" The context appears to indicate that the people who had come with Peter from Jerusalem were the incalcitrant ones. Cornelius comes off as meek and willing to follow whatever instructions he is given by the apostles.
And, just when was Cornelius "saved?" If he was "saved" before the words in
Acts 10:48, were spoken then he was not "commanded" to be baptized "to be saved." He was baptized BECAUSE he was already saved.
