That being said, Abraham's faith is what justified him. Circumcision was a sign of his covenant with God. These mythical people that refuse to be baptized are refusing to enter into covenant with God, they are showing that they do not have faith, they are not justified.
Now, baptism to obtain forgiveness? No! Baptism because of forgiveness... Do sinners enter into a covenant with God?

The word in the Greek is "in order that your sins may be forgiven". But that does not mean baptism washes away sins, or that your forgiven on the basis of baptism.
