In Judaism immersion in the ritual bath has had meaning for ritual PURIFICATION from menstruation, contact with the dead and certain animals. Also the requirement exists for new converts to Judaism to immerse as a ritual of purification. But none of this has anything to do with remission of sins and forgiveness for general sins at all. Only God himself can do that. But the ritual immersion has nothing to do with it. There is also an ancient practice of men immersing after wet dreams or sexual relations.
