Baptism does not rid one of their sins, but true confession and repentance does. Baptism is only a symbolic sign that a person comes forth from the water as an outward sign of having been cleansed of their sins.
The only Biblical solution for forgiveness of sins is trusting in the Messiah (Christ), who was the Anointed One who would save us from sin. "For he (God) hath made him (Jesus Christ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." 2 Corinthians 5:21. The writer of Hebrews stated: "God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." Hebrews 1:1-3.
Matthew had revealed about Christ: "They shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Matthew 1:23. Yet, Joseph was also instructed by the angel Gabriel: "Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." v. 21. The name "Jesus' means Savior. Therefore, "the express image" of the Father, Jesus was God come in the flesh to redeem all from their sins, who would trust in Him.

∙ 14y agono only admitting to your sins and being truthfully sorry for them, and confessing your love and faith to Jesus can take away all your sins.
We can also say that what takes away all your sins is Christ's sacrifice on your behalf on the cross. Admitting to your sin, etc. listed above is the way we appropriate the forgiveness of God - we do not cause God to forgive us in any way.

∙ 12y agoNo actually baptism will not forgive your sins , it is a outward sign that you want to repent and change your ways. Only God can forgive your sins. The example of the thief on the cross proves that Baptism is not essential for Salvation:- .
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
All baptism itself does is get you wet.

If a person has already been spiritually baptized and becomes a Christian, water baptism is recommended but not required. Some churches believe that water baptism is essential to salvation also, but, in the Bible, Jesus clearly states that only spiritual baptism is necessary.
