was right with you until the last sentence. It's a testimony of salvation, not salvation itself. I have been to a church where the pastor overemphasized baptism. I feel it's a dangerous path. It leads to some believing in a ritualistic act for their salvation. Only the death and resurrection of Christ saves.
If we confess Jesus before men, He will also confess us before the Father and before His angels (Matthew 10:32, Luke 12:8).
If you think that such a thing is not salvational concerning the kingdom then by all means think that.
As long as you don't neglect making the confession through identifying with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection through baptism in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth for the remission of sins.
Read 1 Corinthians 1:17

Notice the context.
It says that Paul himself did baptize three people in Corinth (Stephanas, Crispus, and Gaius).
However, in Acts of the Apostles 18:8, we find that there were many baptized in Corinth.
So, Paul must have considered that his primary job was preaching; and he also left the baptizing up to his disciples; even as Jesus did in John 4:1-2 with His disciples.
God has not sent me to baptize either (my vocation is to preach the gospel on the internet); however this does not mean that I de-emphasize the importance of being baptized in my preaching. I cannot baptize many people from computer to computer; but I can encourage the person on the other side of the computer to go to someone who will baptize them and to receive the ordinance from them.
I believe that it is an important step and that if it has the power to save you, it will save you whether you believe that it did the saving or not.
So, I would encourage you to at least get it done, just in case (in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; because the Holy Ghost is absolutely promises underneath that formula).
