Yes they are imperatives. However, in Rom.6:3, AGNOEITE while secon person
plural is present active indicative. The indicative mood is used here in
relation to the baptism as an action that has already occured in the life of
the believers, thus the use of the indicative mood in this passage. It is
also indicative in that it is in the form of a question. The imperative on
the other hand is a command given to do something.
