Baptism is the response of someone who already has a good conscience concerning his sin toward God. Can you deal with the fact that a good conscience toward God must exist prior to a person being baptized for us?

Thanks.

I think in baptism clears the conscience of the penitent. "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved."
