it's an ordinance, and meant to take place AFTER someone has been regenerated by the Spirit, as a public confession of faith

So, why was our Lord baptized?

For His own glory. I certainly hope you're not suggesting that Christ himself was in need of regeneration?

Mt 3:15 - But Jesus answered him, "Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness."
