Exegesis
In the question, the fronted prepositional phrase eis ti oun {Εἰς τί οὖν | Eis tí oûn} literally “into what then” places emphasis on the nature of the baptism, and the aorist passive indicative verb ebaptisthēte {ἐβαπτίσθητε | e-bap-tís-thē-te} presents the baptism as a completed reception.
