It is at the point of baptism that sins are forgiven; "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Acts 2:38.  

Notice also, "And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." Acts 22:16.  

Baptism is an Immersion

It is also important to note that baptism is an immersion and not simply sprinkling or pouring. The word "baptism" literally means immersion. Therefore, to sprinkle or pour is not the same as being baptized.
