Was the Baptism just for show or did it actually mean something?

Does Baptism mean to be inclothed with (power)?

Is it illegal to think about what it means for Christ to be Man? Are we saying there couldn't be limitations to the Holy Trinity while a Human before Baptism? The situation called for a special case in order to die for our sins, no?

Christ was born a Human Baby. How is a Human Baby still the Holy Trinity without Baptism? Christ is still Himself (God), but I think there was a limitation in comparison to after Baptism with the Holy Spirit.

If the Spirit of Christ in Baby Jesus is different than the Holy Spirit, wouldn't than mean Baptism rejoined Him? That would make the Baptism the second most important event in His life.

Why wouldn't there be a difference between before and after John the Baptist, Baptized Jesus?

Does this not bring meaning to Jesus's Baptism?

Why do we bother making a distinction between the Three unless One can function without the Others? For Jesus to be fully God, did He have to have full connection to the Holy Trinity? This is only about the years before Baptism.

Addressing the OP, the Lord Jesus is our Example. and no, the Holy Spirit is the EQUAL SHARE in that body of Flesh and blood. which means the Holy Spirit that was in that body, (when it was BORN), was G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') at it's birth. meaning without power, but the SAME "Spirit", two supportive scripture,

#1. Philippians 2:6 "Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:" (THIS IS THE EQUALNESS AS GOD, THE HOLY SPIRIT). supportive scripture, Luk2 2:25

#2. Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:" (HERE OUT GOD IN FLESH AS THE EQUAL SHARE IS MADE EMPTY OF HIS OMIN-POWERS.

and as the example for us, he was Baptized or anointed with his own Spirit, and he had, (because of his sinlessness he was anointed without measure. scripture, John 3:34 "For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him."

so like us yes, no miracle was done without the Spirit. hence the confirmation in Isaiah 9:6

We already know Jesus was separate from the Father while on Earth, why are we assuming Baby Jesus had the Holy Spirit before Baptism?

The Spirit of Christ is different than the Holy Spirit. Mary can have the Holy Spirit, but Jesus still needs Baptized ..just like new babies today.

Jesus's Baptism should be a Holiday as big as Christmas. We've been looking at it as a side-show when it was monumental to Jesus's mission.

no separated person, for he is the Holy Spirit, shared in flesh.... again see, Luke 2:25
The Spirit of Christ is different than the Holy Spirit.
Another ERROR on your part, if so, then you have two Gods, for God is a "Spirit", per John 4:24a

You reject the Father and Son of the Bible. What right do you have to teach anyone about the Bible?

Yikes? Is that what you will say on Judgment Day for rejecting the Father and Son of the Bible?

Now you compare God's written Word with Burger King? Why can't you quote Scripture? Why do you reject Jesus the Son of God?

Do you not know that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, born of the Spirit of God (the Holy Spirit) and not by fallen man as we are?

He knew no sin in thought or deed, He had no need to be saved or to be baptized in water by man to confess His faith.

His baptism was for the benefit of man! It not only commissioned His ministry to man, but also agreed with the ministry of His forerunner John the Baptist who preached the repentance of sins by the symbol of water baptism in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ for man!

His baptism marked one the greatest days in human history, His ministry of redeeming man from his fallen state back into the grace of God!

Your concept of the baptism of Christ is plain and simple a complete misunderstanding of the Grace of God!

Not sure why you are fighting to downplay Jesus's Baptism.

Shema...

Hear oh Israel,
The Lord, The Lord God is one.

Jesus is not the Holy Spirit but He is God.
The Holy Spirit is not Jesus but He is God.
The Father is not Jesus or the Holy Spirit but He is God.

It's not a pantheon of Gods...but ONE God.

Plural in magestey but One God.

It's not complicated unless some unbeliever tries to make it so...as if he can really understand ALL of God. (What a joke that person is)
