Why do you equate "washed away" with "remitted?"
Matthew 26:28
Romans 3:25
Hebrews 9:22
It's
His blood that remits sins. Unless someone is being very careless, there is no shedding of blood at a baptism. And where there is no shedding of blood, there is no "remission."
Also we will notice that it is by having Paul "call on the name of the Lord" that the washing takes place, not baptism (
1 Peter 3:21).
