Baptism is in obidiance to Christ. He was baptised by John the Baptist in the Jordon River and to this day Christians from all over the world when they give their lives to Christ do this as he would do... Sin will always be there...You can go down in the water a wet sinner and come out a wet sinner. It is the lambs blood that saves you. If many of you would just listen to the person conducting the baptism instead of just waiting to see a wet girl, you would understand the purpose of it.... Thank You...a follower of Christ

An analytical answer, if you must

From a non-religious perspective with limited knowledge of Christianity:

Baptism is the ceremonial admission of a candidate into Christianity or a specific branch or even a specific congregation. (got that from Wikipedia)

Christian doctrine holds that we are all born tainted with "original sin". Baptism could be seen either as washing away that sin or, a "rebirth" free of original sin. (Water holds all kinds of symbology)

It all comes down to what you choose to believe, and what all the various rituals and trappings are meant to symbolize, bearing in mind that it's all intended to remind one of the underlying meanings and reinforce belief.
