c. Since the conjunction kai "and" joins the two commands together, what is said of one command applies to the other
. . . 1) If they were to baptized "because of" remission of sins...
. . . 2) ...then they were also to repent "because of" the remission of sins!

You would like to infer that, but the logic of it is:

Repent(confess and forsake sins, and He that is righteous and just will abandon your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness, 1 Jn. 1:9 applied), and now being inwardly cleaned, be ritually externally purified by baptism on the basis of sins already confessed and remitted.

What's your problem with that syntax?

Matthew 26:28

For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

There’s that word eis again. “Because of”, huh?

So. Jesus went and shed his blood AFTER (because of) the sins had already been forgiven?
