If he is forgiven at repentance or when he calls on the name of the Lord, why is baptizing washing away his sins? It seems as though
Acts 2:38 would be correct when it says, "Repent
and be baptized for the remission of your sins."
And
I Peter 3:21 says, "The like figure whereunto even
baptism doth also now save us..."
