First it is an ordinance given by GOD. It does not save u but when u r baptized u r identifing with CHRIST'S death, burial and resurrection. That's why Christians r emerged completely. If it had saving power then GOD WORD would b void when HE said "It is a gift not by works least any man should boast. Also the thief was not taken off the cross and baptized, but yet JESUS said Today u shall b with me n Paradise. If u have access to a concordance look up passages on baptism. In some instances ppl was baptized an in others they jus believed and was told to go m peace.

I hope this is helpful.
