Q&A: Baptism represents the remission of sins; it does not save — people are saved before being baptized in Scripture
A final Q&A question asks why we get baptized and whether it is for remission of sins.
Winger distinguishes between representing the remission of sins versus causing it. Baptism is an outward expression of an inward reality (already received forgiveness). Clear texts show people are saved before they are baptized (e.g., Cornelius received the Spirit before baptism). For a full treatment he directs viewers to his 4-hour debate with Dean Meadows on "Does Baptism Save," available in the video description with timestamps for navigating specific passages.
