It also goes on to say baptism is for the sanctification of sins, when followed by the reception of the Holy Ghost.
Jesus was baptised and set the example for us – to me, the most important part of baptism is the representation it has to our Saviour – it is what he commanded us to do, as you rightly said, and it is that first major step in which we can become closer to our Saviour and work for our Celestialisation.
