How old were you when you were baptized? You talking about when you were an infant? I thought you had already decided that a new born is not a sinner. So now are you saying you were baptized to remove your sin?

It removes the stain of original sin which the child cannot undo. He could (in theory only) avoid personal sin, but cannot get rid of the sin ingerited from his father (Adam).

Dave made a distinction between actual personal sin and original sin. Of course, in an adult, it works pretty well on personal sins as well. :-)
