Don’t Trivialise Baptism

Actually using baptism correctly to identify with Jesus Christ and indicate commitment to His teachings is powerfully beneficial in uniting the person so baptised with Jesus Christ. If that person then continues permanently to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ this unity is completed and the person so identified with Jesus is made part of Jesus. Now since Jesus is with the Father and spiritually in unity with the Father, blessed by the Father, pleasing to the Father, eternally living in the Father’s power, having purified sin by His death and having been raised to life once and for all by the Father, happily considered permanently Son of this Father, then yes, that is a blessed state of love to live with permanently and the Son continues that state by keeping you in good standing with the Father by corrected sins.
