I mean you REALLY don't have to be a Bible scholar to see a correlation there between baptism being FOR the remission of sins and washing away sins. Unfortunetly for the "eis" crowd there is no "eis" in Acts 22:16 to play with... it just means what it says. Or maybe not...
Acts 2:38 "Repent (only if you're a REALLY bad person otherwise just say the "sinners prayer") and be baptized (if you feel like it) every one of you (the Jews) in the Name of Jesus Christ (or the Father, or the Son, or the Holy Ghost, or all three, or a combination of the three, or Yogi Bear, pick one it doesn't matter anyway) and you shall recieve the (added blessing) Gift of the (Baptism of, not the "measure of" that you get when you repent or say the sinners prayer) Holy Ghost"
That's good BIBLE TEACHIN' RIGHT THERE!

What's your comment on Acts 10:43. It was Peter who said it also, right?
Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
