You appear to be saying that John's disciples were indeed "shown salvation" and the "remission of sins" as Zacharias had called John's ministry ( Luke 1:77). But then they had to wait 30 years (about) for the actual "remission of their sins" in Acts 19.
Yet Acts 2:38 and Mark 1:4 both use the same language for "the remission of sins." Whatever "remission" that takes place in your church as you practice Acts 2:38 is described with the same identical prepositions and verbs as John's ministry in Mark 1 and Luke 3.
Sins were remitted under John's ministry even before our Lord Himself stepped into the water in Matthew 3.

The dispensation changed at Calvary and Pentecost. ONLY baptism in Jesus Name remits men sins from the day of Pentecost til the end of the church age.
