1. When Paul arrived he found that most of the people had been baptized in the way that John the Baptist had done, but they didn't have any authority to do so. So Paul helped them out by baptizing them for real, with the proper authority.
2. This clears up any questions that people may have about baptism, if they have already been baptized before, but without the authority. It is clear now that you need to have that authority, even if the entire ceremony looks identical to the correct one with authority.
3. Paul gave authority through the laying on of hands. It is important that we know that detail because it means that he had authority.
4. I believe that the sabbath was changed to Sunday because it the day that Christ was resurrected.
