Remember that water is not for remission of sins. without the shedding of blood there is no remission. The Ot types were shadows and figures of a future reality. We read these verses about remission of sins
Heb 9:22 "And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission."
Rom 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;"
Act 10:43 "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins"
Heb 10:18 "Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin." Note here that when John the baptist was alive there was still sacrifices going on and long after that. But after Christ death there was no need for them.
Rev 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"
Heb 9:14 "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
THE SUBJECT OF WATER BAPTISM IN THE NEW TESTAMENT IS NOT... ABOUT THE OLD COVENANT WASHINGS, NOR IS THE ACTUAL ACT OF WATER BAPTISM SHOWN TO BE A REPLACEMENT... FOR CHRIST'S BLOOD SHED UPON HIS CROSS FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS! YOU ARE INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING THOSE IN CHRIST JESUS!
