Let's stick to scripture alone on this.
There is plenty of scripture to show that Christ was our propitiation of sin (
Rom 3:25,
Heb 2:17, 1 John 2/4), making salvation available through Him.
And I put on His name, identifying with Him and His covenant through water baptism (a highly significant thing in Eastern culture). Our father is no longer Adam, but Christ. Baptism is no more important than a reptentant heart, and Christ the hope of it all. It's not the water, just like it wasn't the water of the Jordan that healed Naaman, it was the charge/instructions of God's mediator (in this case Christ), and the faith/trust of Naaman in him (our faith in Him).
