¹⁶ And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

REPENT + BAPTISM = "Remission of sins"
FAITH + BAPTISM = "Saved"
BAPTISM = "Put on Christ"

BAPTISM = "Wash away sins"

The blood of Christ washes away sins at BAPTISM.
Therefore, our sins are not taken away until we are baptized.
