Default Did the Marcionites Accept Baptism Because the Creator Didn't Make Water?

Quote:
Indeed, up to the present time, he [Marcion] has not disdained the water which the Creator made wherewith he washes his people [Tert. Against Marcion 1.14.3]
But God didn't make water. Read Genesis chapter 1. Water was already there before Creation. Could that be the reason why the Marcionites accepted baptism? It wasn't formed by the Creator?
