The Apostles baptized right away, they would not take their Lord's name in vain.
Yes there is the possibility that someone that has been baptized will choose not to live for him, but that still happens even with people have been in the Church for years, even ministers have left the faith.
Being baptized will not prevent someone from walking out on the Lord.
