Baptism is for the remission/forgiveness of sins period.
Most who deny baptism seek refuge in the "sufficiency of the blood". Then state something similar to the blood being shed for all yet can't seem to see that just because Christ shed His blood for the whole world does not mean the whole world is saved. A person must repent and be baptized in Jesus name for the remission/forgiveness of sins. Then they receive the Holy Ghost but not necessarily in that order. A person must be born again.
The irony here is the fighting against something Christ commanded. Sooo... They seek refuge in Christ while denying the commands of Christ. The apostle John had some strong words for this mindset:
1Jn 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jn 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

ONLY through His shed blood can a man have remission of sins and that takes place when the penitent is immersed in water having the Name of Jesus Christ invoked over him. Whe you reject that you reject the blood.
