If Baptism was so important for remission of sins why were not any of the twelve disciples baptized? Had their sins already been remitted somehow?

Why didn't Jesus baptize anyone?

How did Cornelius receive the Holy Ghost if he was still a degenerate sinner?

Also, we cannot derive our doctrine from a historical narrative (Acts) unless that doctrine is supported by other scripture in the bible. This is a common rule in bible interpretation and reading.
