Act 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.
You see any baptism in there??? Of course you don't...
A little bible study by anyone, even a Catholic, will reveal that baptism may or may not be present when the Holy Spirit is given and salvation takes place...
The same little study will reveal that Repentance is always present when the Holy Spirit indwells the believer...
And BTW, there is no scriptural exortation that water baptism is for the remission of sins...
Why do you constantly pervert God's scripture???

The key here is the mathematical operand "and". That is why you guys are usually so far off base when it comes to doctrine. If you pick and choose one thing that apparently differs from another, why then you wind up with another denomination.
But Jesus (remember Him?) neatly wraps it all up in:
John 3: 5Jesus answered, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.d
You are correct in that water baptism alone does not save, yet both water and Spirit are required. And in answer to your other post, the Church recognizes as valid all Christian baptisms intended to baptize "In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit", as long as the person in question is Trinitarian in belief.
I guess that leaves you the odd man out, yet again.

A comprehensive study will show the opposite. Try moving away from the 13 verses that you guy hold dear and read the Gospels.
