When you confess Him and you receive his body and blood in faith, your sins are washed away and you are a born again child of God! We In fact are redeemed from sin and death, Christ having become our sacrifice, while fulfilling all righteousness .Our atonement for sin,our "Passover lamb". You need only to believe. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Behold I stand at the door and knock. Open your heart and let him abide. Trust in Him and lean not unto your own understanding! All your ways acknowledge HIM! Salvation is yours, and fades not away, it is kept for you! These promises of salvation are sealed,with his BLOOD! Receive HIM today

Your sins are not washed by confessing and having faith in Jesus. You receive the remission of your sins when you obey Acts 2:38 read it. Maybe you should read the whole book of acts and see what the Apostles taught as instructed by the Lord Jesus

Dennis: this is what the scriptures say about REMISSION of sins.

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

Luke 1:77 To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

Luke 3:3 And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;

Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

Romans 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;

Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

Acts 2;21 Whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Peter 3;18For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Peter 3;21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ The kjv uses the word also, a word that takes us back to the old test. Thank you for pointing these things out!

You are correct! If I have a friend,who is dieing or come upon an accident and there is someone breathing their last breath, shall not their confession of Jesus Christ be enough to take them too heaven? That whosoever believeth on His name shall be saved!My comment was referring to the sacrificial atonement through animal sacrifice. This act provided a temp.cleansing until the next time of the same sacrifice. Baptism is a commandment of Christ, which in effect is the fulfilling of the law. Our confession is what saves us! The sacraments do not save us. CIRCUMCISION IS OF THE HEART! Loving Christ with every living part of your body and soul is what saves us! When you kneel before this gracious forgiving God and confess your sins,He is faithful and just to forgive us. It is interesting that Peter uses the example of Noah in the verse before to illustrate what baptism is. The law and the gospel always exalt one another. I think I would prefer to use this chapter of Peter, to understand what baptism does. Being put to death in the flesh but quickened in the spirit! I love Peters words, He has a clear understanding of both.
