The Bible Says...

 Isa 64:6 ¶ But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnessesare as filthy rags;  Why? Because in light of the fact that Jesus Christ came to die for you in order for you to be saved, a work such as getting your forehead wet cannot save you. 

 Not only can the work of Baptism not save you, but if you are working to try to be saved, those very works shall condemn you...
Romans 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 
 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 
 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works

NOTICE that in the Word of God...(if you even read it) that all those who were baptised were baptised AFTER they were saved.  How are we saved?
 Acts 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Then, after they had been saved, they went forth and were obedient to God, expressing their new found faith in Jesus Christ by being baptised.
