Acts 26:20

"but declared both to them of Damascus first and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judaea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance"But declared" Paul's obedience was prompt and without delay to the command of Christ (Acts 9:19 ff). "Also to the Gentiles" Which especially started to happen once he came to Antioch (Acts 11:26 ff). "Repent" Considering the personal life of King Agrippa, this is something that he also needed to do. "Doing works worthy of repentance" "Performing deeds appropriate to repentance" (NASV). "And so act as befits men who are penitent" (Knox). "In their works, the fruits of. changed heart" (Bas). "And live lives consistent with such repentance" (Wey). "Demonstrating that repentance by deeds" (Rieu). One of the first works worthy or repentance is to follow through and do everything Jesus said to do to be saved, including being baptized (Mark 16:16). Hence, the person who refuses to acknowledge that baptism is necessary for salvation, is refusing to follow through and truly admit that Jesus is Lord. One's faith cannot be separated from one's conduct or personal life. Habitual sin must be ceased (1 Corinthians 6:9; 1 John 3:6; 1 John 3:9).
