Biblical Take on Remission

In the New Testament there are 10 verses which use the word remission.

This is a summary of those verses(cited in their order):

Salvation comes by a remission of sins(3). Remission requires blood to be shed(9). Through Christ's righteousness, His blood was shed for the remission of sins(1,8). Baptism, through the shedding of Christ's blood, is for the remission of sins(1,2,4,6,9). Baptism is of repentance meaning repentance includes baptism and is also for a remission of sins(2,4,6). Remission of sins is received by whosoever believes in Jesus Christ(7). Once a remission of sins is received nothing else (no offering) needs to be done (or given) for those sins(10). Baptism of repentance for the remission of sins should be preached in Christ's name among all nations(2,4,5,6).

Which means (my take away):

Preaching baptism of repentance for the remission of sins in Christ's name inspires belief in Christ. Believing in Christ is not complete without repentance. Repentance is not complete without baptism. Baptism brings the Atonement of Christ into our lives, providing a remission of our sins, cleansing us through His blood, allowing us to enter the presence of God and dwell with Him. Dwelling with God is salvation.

If there is doubt of my use of the word 'through' above, I offer this:

Baptism represents the shedding of Christ's blood, which concluded with His death and resurrection (see Rom 6).

Every verse in the New Testament (KJV) using the word remission:

1-Mat 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

7-Act 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

8-Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; mcn
