From a message preached by Pastor David Prince, Ashland Avenue Baptist Church.
If anyone talks about baptism as an act of obedience, he is just talking about the legalistic aspect of it and not the act of accepting the salvation (Philippians 3: 2-3). Similarly, for circumcision - as an act of obedience, one is entrapped in the legalism of it, and therefore transforms it into the act of mutilating the flesh.

I believe Rom. 10:9 is needed for salvation and 1Pet. 3:21 for keeping a good conscience by obedience (sign of maturity?) to Mt:28:19.
