Somewhere our doctrine has an impurity, but yet I rest in the assurance of Christ's work on the cross to make me perfect.

Well stated. We are to follow in Christ's footsteps, and His footsteps were prefigured in the OT typology. There are lots of examples and reasons given to go through the waters of baptism, but how well we perform is no grounds for boasting because it is through the blood that we have redemption and forgiveness of sins.
