Just to hilight the fallacy in your thinking....Paul never said he was glad he did not baptize. He never said he did not baptize. Paul said to a church he was glad he baptized none of THEM. Why? Because they were misunderstanding the authority and purpose of baptism, which in scriptures was a sign you were someones disciple. John's disciples were baptized unto John. Paul was claiming that had he baptized them they would have said they were of Paul.
When Paul found the disciples of John in Acts he asked how they were baptized and then when they were to become the disciples of Jesus he baptized them in the name of Jesus. The disciples of Jesus have HIS authority to carry on HIS mission and make and baptized disciples unto Jesus.
It's amazing people take scriptures like that out of context and try to make Paul out to not baptize anyone or glad he does not baptize. Absolutely amazing.
Water baptism according to scriptures I have already posted is part of the discipleship process
