Best Answer

Baptist view: Baptism is the immersion of a believer in water as a sign of his or her previous entrance into the Communion of Christ's death and resurrection.

Baptism is an ordinance instituted by Christ (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:16).

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19).

Continued

Baptism by water is symbolic of a transition into a new life. It is given by God as a gift of grace that represents the cleansing of your soul. It represents your complete acceptance of Christ as your savior, and all the conscious effort necessary to do what you know is true. Even as your knowledge grows, your strength to follow truth is lent by the Father. The boundary between the air and water becomes the infinitely thin plane between your old ways, heaven with the Lord, and your new ways. Be ready if you choose this. You are making a personal covenant with God.

What is the reason why Jesus was baptized by John?

Jesus fulfilled Scripture when he was water baptized. But He was not baptized for His sins- He was sinless. When Jesus was baptized, He was baptized with the Holy Spirit, and with the Spirit came power. Jesus never performed any miracles before he was baptized. He had the Holy spirit, but he was not baptized with the full power of the Spirit until John baptized him.
