Sins are not remitted by just repenting.You must confess them also and you confess them in baptism.NOTE confess. Where do we confess our sins? The blood is applied in the water in the name of Jesus.
1 John 1:9:
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Math.3:6:
And were baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins.
Acts10:43: To him give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. (Remisssion in Jesus name baptism
Acts 2:38)
Blood was shed at death.Rom.6:: Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death (blood): that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. 5: For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death (blood), we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection
Water baptism in Jesus name remits sins or washes your sins away.
Acts 22:16:And now why tarriest thou?
arise, and be baptized,and wash away thy sins,calling on the name of the Lord
