depends on what the definition of the word eis, is
Interesting article about Acts 2:38 and the actual Greek texts instead of the English versions used by many denominations to attempt to validate their apostacy.
Read it here
Acts 2:38 is a direct answer to a direct question. "What should we do?" they asked. The answer wasn't "say a prayer in your heart and you will be forgiven", or "whatever you think is right". The answer was clear and direct.
Repentance and baptism are two seperate actions. Neither one has much meaning without the other, nor does one replace the other. Why do you repent and become baptized? "for the remission of sins". And if that is not enough for you, you will recieve the gifts of the Holy Ghost as a kicker.

Most followers I know do not doubt the necessity of baptism. The only question is whether it is a part of the conversion experience or not. Personally, I don't see where it fits in if it is not a part of conversion. You end up having to put it in some strange places like church membership.
