Gal. 3:26,27 makes faith in Christ inextricably linked with baptism into him: "Ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. FOR as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Further examples of this link between belief and baptism will be found in Acts 19:4; 10:42 cp. 48; 2:37,38; Lk. 24:47. Apollos "knew" John's baptism (Acts 18:25), showing that baptism is not just an act, but involves knowing certain teaching.
Gal 3:26,27 yafanya imani kwa Kristo kutoepukika imeungwa na ubatizo katika yeye: "Ninyi nyote ni wana wa Mungu kwa imani iliyo kwa Kristo Yesu. MAANA ninyi nyote mliobatizwa katika Kristo mmemvaa Kristo. Mifano zaidi ya huku kuungwa kati ya kusadiki na kubatizwa kunapatikana katika Matendo 19:4; 10:42 linganisha na 48; 2:37,38; Lk 24:47. Apolo "aliujua" ubatizo wa Yohana (Mdo 18:25) ikionyesha kwamba ubatizo sio tu ni tendo, bali kunahusisha kujua mafundisho hakika.
