Since Christianity has always believed in baptism for the remission of sins, it is imperative that antiCatholics deny it. It sets them apart, you see, like the self-elected goats.

I must say you are consistant...Consistantly wrong...

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

Here, whoever believes on Jesus (repents) receives remission of sins...No baptism...

Act 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

Here, whoever repents (believes on Jesus), the Holy Spirit fell on...NO BAPTISM...

Rom 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;
Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Well here we go again...Imagine that...Folks receive remission of sins by believing on Jesus Christ...

Rom 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

Well Lo and Behold...Wanna brag about how you received remission of sins by getting wet??? NOT...A person gets remission of sins by repentance...And repentance alone...

Since Christianity has always believed in baptism for the remission of sins

Well of course they haven't...Because that's not what Jesus taught...That is however what Catholics believe...It's in their Tradition...

Romans 10:8-13 8But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11For the Scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."

12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13For "everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
