Context of Acts 19:5

3“Then what baptism did you experience?” he asked. And they replied, “The baptism of John.” 4Paul said, “John’s baptism called for repentance from sin. But John himself told the people to believe in the one who would come later, meaning Jesus.” As soon as they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6Then when Paul laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in other tongues and prophesied. 7There were about twelve men in all.

Commentaries on Acts 19:5

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5When they heard this, etc. - As there is no evidence in the New Testament of persons being rebaptized, unless this be one, many criticisms have been hazarded to prove that these persons were not rebaptized.

When they heard this--not the mere words reported in Ac 19:4, but the subject expounded according to the tenor of those words. they were baptized--not however by Paul himself (1Co 1:14). in the name of the Lord Jesus--into the whole fulness of the new economy, as now opened up to their believing minds.Read the comment
