Instead it is the baptism of the Holy Spirit that happens to a person with saving faith. When a person is saved, at that moment he is baptized in the Holy Spirit. This baptism has nothing to do with water at all. It is, in fact, the fulfillment of what John the Baptist said. It is the baptism of the Holy Spirit and it occurs at salvation.
Salvation is totally be faith.
Any work that we may perform has no part in salvation. Water baptism is a work that must be performed. Also, there is a problem with water baptism. Not everyone can be water baptized before they die. Yes that person can still be saved but that person cannot take part in water baptism.
