Best Answer

It is a a loving step of obedience to Christ's command to be baptized(Matt. 28:18-20, John14:15). It also identifies you with Jesus Christ. It is an outward symbol of what took place spritually when you received Christ as your Saviour. As you stand in the water, it is a picture of your death in Christ, as you are put under the water, it is a symbol of your burial with Christ, and as you come up out of the water, it is a symbol of you new like in Christ ( Romans 6;3-5; I Corinthians 5:17). Remember, baptism does not save a person or add anything to his salvation, but is a step of obedience and identification with Christ. Only baptism by "immersion" can represent this...................................... Its This But If You Want A Better Explanation Then Goto related link:

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.
