This is an ongoing subject that gets wrangled routinely.
When you come to Jesus for salvation, BEING BORN AGAIN ( John 3), Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.
Water Baptism is a wonderful ceremony, to be shared with your Church and family. But it does not save you. You have to give your life to Christ and take His Life into your heart, mind, and soul__by asking to be baptized by the Holy Spirit.
Anyone can walk into a church and be baptized. Call and make an appointment first. It'll be private if that is your aim.
Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, because it was a prophesy. A lot of people got baptized that day.
The best Baptism is the day you realize that the Holy Spirit is seated on the throne of your heart, and speaks to your heart with the still, small voice. He's teaching, comforting, warning when you're about to sin some way. He tells you about Jesus__if you will get into the Bible and read it every day. Start in Proverbs. Lots of practical information in there. Isaiah is prophetic scriptures about Jesus. Matthew to 1-2-3 John are Jesus's life on earth. Revelation gives you a special blessing for reading it. Every time you do.
By every means, grow up in Christ.
Refuse to be a ( Revelation 3:14-22) kind of Christian. Be hot.
I disagree with your comment about baptism as a condition for salvation
Please read Mark 16:15-16 .(there are other verses too)
" 15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
Does baptism saves one if not born iagain? The answer is No.
Does new birth saves one if not baptised in water afterwards? The answer is still No.
One has to go through both of them to be saved (my opinion ...)
There is a difference between baprism in water and baptism in Spirit. The former you do it yourself, the later God does it.
Also there are different opinions between christians about baptism in Spirit, that are:
a. One is baptised in Spirit when one believes in Christ, that is when one is born again.
b. when one is baptised in water
c. baptism in Spirit has nothing to do with either new birth or baptism in water. It is independent of those, but has to be either at the same time or after new birth.
Anyway I think baptism in water is essential for salvation. There are exceptions to this only when one is impossible to be baptized, like the other thief on the cross next to Jesus, or when one has no time left to live, etc
