I think you are mistaken here. I have been accused and attacked by other Apostolics because I don't believe that the blood is literally applied in baptism. I've also been ostracized for saying that when we sing "Power in the Blood", we are not referring to liquid that came out of Jesus.

What are these verses speaking of?

"And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:"

"For the life of the flesh [is] in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it [is] the blood [that] maketh an atonement for the soul."

The video explains all of that well.
