Death (repentance), burial (baptism) and resurrection (Holy Ghost infilling). There is no other message.

Ok, we'll cross out "Formula" if that makes you feel better. Let's go with, "Sentence", "Truth", "Those three activities".
They never appear again in the bible! They are NEVER reinforced in ANY of the teachings that Paul did to the early church. Don't you think he would have talked about it somewhere? He told them how to do communion, how to conduct services, and he talked about salvation many times. But he NEVER said, "repent, be baptized in Jesus' name, and be filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues" one single time. Nor did he say it in any of his missionary journeys or when called before any leaders in the book of Acts.
Why? Why wouldn't he include something that is SOOOOO important?
