The water symbolized the washing away of sin.
Yes he did .
The baptism of water was by John the Baptist, but baptism of Fire byLord Maitreya
Similarites being the water baptism is a physical act and the baptism of desire is not the way that Jesus was baptized. Rather the desire is actually a desire to not have to do more than just think about baptism.
Baptism represents the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus by being plunged under water, being under water, and being risen out of the water.
It signifies being washed in Jesus.
when he went under water
Water baptism, life, death resurrection of Jesus. Jesus' death on the cross.
The Bible does not mention Jesus changing water to wine before his baptism. The first miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana is recorded in the Gospel of John and occurred after his baptism by John the Baptist.
"Baptism" comes from the Greek word "baptizo". It literally means "to plunge under" to submerge, to immerse. In christianity baptism can get contorted depending on which denomination you're with. Infant baptism is another related question. Obviously no one is going to plunge a baby under water. Thus the baptizing of babies by sprinkling their heads with water clearly isn't baptism. Baptism is meant to be an outward action that one makes when they decide to follow Jesus. The plunging under water is to represent dying and being buried with Jesus. The coming up from the water is parallel to Jesus' being raised from the dead to life. The new christian's baptism represents washing away the old and starting fresh with a new life in Jesus.
It depends on what type of baptism. Spiritual baptism is being immersed in the Holy Spirit when a person accepts Jesus Christ as the Son of God and asks for forgiveness of their sins. It is necessary for salvation and everlasting life in heaven. On the other hand, water baptism is used to pronounce a saved person's public profession of faith to fellow believers through Jesus's example. If a person has already been spiritually baptized and becomes a Christian, water baptism is recommended but not required. Some churches believe that water baptism is essential to salvation also, but, in the Bible, Jesus clearly states that only spiritual baptism is necessary.
If you refer to Believer's Baptism, as practiced in Baptist churches, it is symbolic cleansing and rebirth into new life in Christ Jesus.
There are two things that need to be explained here before we can answer the question. Water baptism and the "great commission" The "Great commission" is Jesus' command to go into the world and preach the gospel to as many people as possible. It is the message that salvation comes through Jesus and no other. Water baptism is also commanded by Jesus. Baptism is and outward sign of what has gone on inside of a person. By going through baptism the person is saying to the world that I am a believer. I belong to Jesus. He is my master and Lord. Now we can answer the question: After a person has responded to the great commission by accepting Jesus as Savior then he is baptized to proclaim that to the world.
