How do we know that baptism does not wash away sins?

Answered in 1 source

1 Peter 3:21 clarifies that baptism does not put away sin but is an appeal to God for a good conscience.

According to 1 Peter 3:21, baptism does not act as a means to wash away our sins; instead, it signifies a deeper spiritual reality. The act itself is a declaration of faith and obedience, symbolizing what Christ accomplished through His resurrection. It represents our identification with Him, affirming that we already possess a good conscience as a result of His redemptive work, not the ritual of baptism itself.
