You can repent from sin.. with out baptism...
Am I saying don’t do it? No, I am saying it isn’t necessary for salvation which is quite clear in the New testament, that it is Faith not by works... Can a man get baptized and not me “saved”... yes, it isn’t the outward baptism.. it’s the inward baptism, the cleaning by the “Blood” from Jesus.
Can someone do “good works” and not be saved? no, according to Scripture, you need to accept Jesus as Savior.. Baptism is a religious ceremony for the outward appearance of a spritual change. We say we immerse in the water to represent death, are we actually dying? no... so it’s just a show, which isn’t what Paul preached or Peter...
If Religious Ceremony is your thing, do it - not required to make God happy

I made a lot of points and asked several question in post 95. But you ignored/chose not to answer one extremely valid question that negates your arguments and proves you wrong.

So I’ll re ask...

I can live just as evil a life as before - not turning away from my sin?
