Dan, you are making the mistake of interpreting the verse through the lens of your hyper-dispensationalism, that's called eisegesis not exegesis. Through the Gospel. both jew and gentile are now incorporated into the Body of Christ, the Church.

Jesus commanded his water baptism because it makes people his disciples. He baptized people with water to wash away their sins. This baptism calls upon the divine name of Jesus (Son).

John 3:5
Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.

John 3:22-23
After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he spent some time there with them and baptized. 23 John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim because water was abundant there; and people kept coming and were being baptized 24 —John, of course, had not yet been thrown into prison.

John 4:1-3
Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, “Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John” 2 —although it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who baptized— 3 he left Judea and started back to Galilee.

Acts 22:16
And now why do you delay? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins washed away, calling on his name. (Son)’

• Preferred Method: Immersion in "living water" (running water like a river) is the primary instruction.
• Alternatives: If running water is unavailable, baptism may occur in cold or warm standing water.
• Affusion: If immersion is impossible, water is to be poured three times on the head

• Catechesis: Candidates must first receive instruction in the "Way of Life" and "Way of Death."
• Fasting: Both the baptizer and the candidate are required to fast beforehand, with the candidate fasting for one or two days prior to the rite.
• Community: The practice underscores baptism as a decisive step of obedience and inclusion in the covenant community, distinct from casual ritual. --Brave AI

Everyone in the first century AD knew that water was used when baptizing, as Jesus Christ commanded in Matthew 28:18-20. There wasn't any need to explain this fact in a gospel or epistle.

The Didache, an early Christian text dating to the late 1st or early 2nd century, outlines baptism as the formal entry into the Christian community, emphasizing adult converts rather than infants. The text specifies that baptism must be administered in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, reflecting a Trinitarian formula.
