That is an excellent statement. It does point the focus as I believe John intended it, to Jesus the Lamb of God. That is the focus of every sincere water baptism and the source of the salvation that is offered - Jesus Christ.

So if Christ is the real focus, the exact words spoken at the time of the baptism do seem to take a secondary and not a primary function. Would you agree?

No one has ever disagreed with that. The blood shed at Calvary forgave-atoned-redeemed-remitted-reconciled-man's sin.
Faith in the blood is what remits man's sins when he is baptized in Jesus Name.
