MATTHEW.3:11 = 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.1 Peter 3:21 "21 There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,"

Whenever baptism is mentioned together with Jesus Christ, it is the baptism of the Holy Spirit and not water baptism because the Lord Jesus Christ only baptizes His people with the Holy Spirit and fire. He does not baptize His people with water. John the Baptist and pastors/deacons baptized people with water.
Water baptism is the outward sign or symbol of repentance of sins. Water is used to clean stuffs = symbolic of sins/evil-deeds being cleansed.
