Ok. I don’t know how to ask... I’ll just type anyway. Before I was baptized I was taught the purpose for baptism. They were not going to baptize me without going over it. So, I believed (faith) that my sins would be forgiven during baptism. And I was baptized.
Others teach that baptism is just for (list of reasons), but forgiveness of sins is not one of them. If they do not believe that baptism is for the remission of sin, is their baptism in vain? Are their sins forgiven?

Just so the KJV Nazis don’t get upset, the best way to explain the EIS “for” is with Matthew 26:28. Jesus’ blood wasn’t shed because their sins were already remitted. His blood is for the remittance. Therefore Acts 2:38 follows this.
