We have forgiveness and righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ
Ephesian 1:7 Through the blood of his Son, we are set free from our sins. God forgives our failures because of his overflowing kindness.
Romans 3:22 (BBE) That is, the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ, to all those who have faith; and one man is not different from another,
Faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to get forgiveness and righteousness anything else would be salvation by works which we all know is against His word .
Eph 2:8-9 Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God: 9 Not by works, so that no person may take glory to themselves .
Come on Christians , there is no salvation in water baptism or any other work . The only name that saves is Jesus Christ and the only way to receive His salvation is through faith in who He is .
