Acts 22.14-16 Baptism and Cleansing
"He said, ‘The God of our ancestors chose you to know His will, to see the Righteous One, and to hear words from His mouth so that you will testify for Him to all people concerning what you’ve seen and heard. So, now, what are you waiting for? Get up, be immersed and wash away your sins, as you appeal to Him.’"

Romans 6.3-5 Baptism and New Life
"Or don’t you understand that every one of us who has been immersed into Christ Jesus has been immersed into His death? Through our immersion, we were buried with Him into His death, so that as a result, just as Christ was raised through the Father’s awesomeness, in this way we also might experience newness of life. For if we’ve been joined together with Him in the counterpart of His death, then we can be certain we’ll be of His resurrection, also."
