Are you an Apostolic?

The Bible states with specificity that sins are remitted in baptism. No other place does it occur.

But the question remains, are one's sins remitted by the confession of the baptizee or are one's sins remitted by the confession of the baptizor....or both?

Sorry, I noticed that no one had responded to you, so I thought I would try and answer your question.

The concept of water baptism for the remission of sins come primarily from the following verses:

Luke 24:46-47
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
(many scholars see this as a reference to water baptism)

Acts 2:38
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 22:16
16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

Hope that helps some.
