The Difference Between the PCI of the Merger and the Current Counterfeits

I suggest studying the meaning of Acts 2:38 and Acts 22:16

remission of sins is required for salvation.

Remission = forgiveness, pardon.
Does 1faith think the blood of Jesus is insufficient?
When someone can say, "I have done X (a physical act) to be saved", they have entered the realm of the Galatian Judaizers that demanded circumcision for "acceptance" into the church. Have you been baptized? Might as well say, have you been circumcized? Same meaning.
Acts 22:16 the term washed away refers to a figurative washing. In other words it's a spiritual washing and baptism is symbolic of that cleansing for sin. I'll say 'er agin, ONLY the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from sin!
"But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:" 1Peter 1:19
As far as remission and the varied use of the word, let me also ask 1faith, at what point are you forgiven?
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9

So a sinner can't be forgiven until he's baptized, and a saint is forgiven after he confesses his sin...???

"But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe." Galatians 3:22

IOW, "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9

This is not any more easy believism than what happened in Acts. The difference is that you want to interpret this position into a non-repentance, non-Jesus' name, none-Oneness position because of the prism you read through. There is more to being apostolic than Acts 2:38

"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit" Hebrews 6:1-3
