Perhaps you’ve heard Jesus died on the cross for every sin you would ever commit.
Taken by itself this is an incomplete picture of salvation. The Bible tells us love covers a multitude of sins. It also tells us we are all sinners. Wouldn’t you like to be sure you are forgiven?
You are forgiven of sins past in water baptism. Baptism is immersion in water by another, a baptizer, who says I baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost or I baptize you in the name of Jesus Christ after you have accepted Jesus as Messiah and expressed repentance.
After water baptism the only sure way to be forgiven is 1 John 1:9.
Proverbs 28:13 KJV says He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Where does the bible say we are forgiven via water baptism ?

I believe he meant there is one baptism offered from Heaven whereby believing we may be cleansed of our sin and join the family of God.
