This question also reflects the early church's efforts to ensure that believers were fully informed about the gospel and the work of the Holy Spirit.

This requires ongoing study and openness to correction. The Continuity of God's Plan John's baptism was a necessary step in God's redemptive plan, preparing the way for Jesus. Understanding the continuity and progression of God's work helps believers appreciate the fullness of the Gospel.(3) Unto what then were ye baptized?--The answer of the disciples had shown (1) an imperfect instruction, falling short of that which catechumens ordinarily received before they were admitted to the new birth by water and the Spirit; (2) an imperfect spiritual experience.

They were practically disciples of the Baptist, believing in Jesus as the Christ, and thinking that this constituted a sufficient qualification for communion with the Church of Christ.Verse 3. - He said for he said unto them, A.V. and T.R.; into for unto (twice), A.V.
