I am not an expert but if we can save ourselves what is the point of the Cross.

How do we save ourselves if water baptism is for remission of sins? How are we able to remit sins or wash away our sins when we are baptised in water in Jesus name if only the blood of Christ can make us white as snow? Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16 My point is WE don't do a work when we are baptized, the Spirit of God does the work. Rom 2:28-29, Col 2:11-12, 1 Cor 12:13
Prov 20:9 Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?
