Well, if I understand your question correctly, it is the faith of the hearer in the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ that "cuts away the body of sin". Throughout the Scriptures we find reference after reference to the role of faith in removing us from sin. Without faith baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ would be pointless.
Eph 2:8 For by grace
are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
