Proposition:
The Scriptures teaches that obedience is from the inside out. We are first changed in the inner man via the new birth and then the outward "good fruit" of obedience including Baptism results.
Thus we are born-again/saved/forgiven at the moment we confess our sins and accept Christ as our savior - believing in Him as our Savior is the moment of salvation.
