96 2. Grace: At Baptism we receive Sanctifying Grace which removes the original sin from our souls.
from http://disciples.org/our-identity/communion-and-baptism/ which, to me is a variation of the Catholic belief/doctrinne you posted.
Peter said to them,” Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Acts 2:38 (NRSV)
“Just as the baptism represents the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it symbolizes the death and burial of the old self of the repentant believer, and the joyous birth of a brand new being in Christ. Those who founded the Disciples movement taught baptism by immersion as the accepted form. From “Word to the Church on Baptism,” Commission on Theology, 1987”
“Baptism is a public act by which the church proclaims God’s grace, as revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, through the use of a visible sign of God’s gracious initiative and the human individual’s response in faith. With other Christians we affirm that baptism is at once a divine gift and a human response…”
“The meaning of baptism is grounded in God’s redemptive action in Christ, it incorporates the believer in the community in the body of Christ, and it anticipates life in the coming age when the powers of the old world will be overcome, and the purposes of God will triumph.”
Thus to me, we receive grace and forgiveness through our baptism, which is followed by the first reception of communion.
Blessings to you.
Now there is an evil twisting of the words of scripture. (not blaming you personally) Let's look at the real thing.
Acts 2:38 Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for (εἰς) the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
For the second time today the Greek word εἰς is a preposition and not a verb.
