Steve, I think you have a major concern here.
Why must WE apply the blood which the resurrection proves has
already been applied and accepted by God?
Our sin was Christ's and it was removed BEFORE the resurrection, thus, as far as the sin imputed to Christ is concerned, it is a matter of history, proven by the resurrection, that the blood has already been applied in the eyes of God
(else Christ would not have been raised).
Do you believe the blood of Christ must be applied twice? Once before the resurrection and then again when we are baptized?
AND...
What is the blood being applied to in baptism? You've already conceded that our sins were remitted before the resurrection. If they are historically removed, what is the blood being applied to in baptism?
Your position seems inconsistent. Please clarify.
