Someone needs to show me explicitly where the scripture says that mere belief and confession alone remits sin.
"If you believe in Christ you shall receive the remission of sins," does not suggest that a sinners prayer, belief in God, or even repentance alone actually IS the remission of sins. We are baptized FOR the remission of sins. When we believe in Christ we'll do what he says do, we will follow his word and will be baptized and that baptism is our remission. "He that believeth and is baptized..."
The belief sets us up for the remission, but it does not remit our sins. It does not wash our sins away on it's own. Baptism truthfully doesn't either because baptism is done based upon our faith. No faith no remission. No baptism no remission.
