Baptism for Remission of Sins?

The "Church of Christ" related denominations ("Campbellites") teach that Acts 2:38 gives water baptism as the way to receive remission of sins.

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.

And so is it "baptized...for the remission of sins" or not?

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

Baptism is "baptism of repentance." The remission of sins is tied to repentance (see Luke 24:47) and baptism is simply a testimony that this repentance has taken place.

Noted at Mark 1:4 and cross referenced at Acts 2:38; Luke 24:47.
