Point is - Because of the remission of sins is not Greek. And its not Biblical.

One more passage for you...

One acceptable option is to take the Greek preposition translated “for” (eis) as “because of” or “on the basis of.” This is not the usual meaning of the word. The usual meaning is “for” designating aim or purpose.

However it clearly means “because of” in some passages (e.g., Matt. 3:11; 12:14; Mark 1:4).

This explanation links forgiveness with baptizing. We could paraphrase this view as follows. “Repent and you will receive the gift of the Spirit. Be baptized because your sins are forgiven.”171
