Baptism served as a pivotal moment for Jesus, marking the beginning of his public ministry and affirming his identity as the Messiah. By being baptized by John the Baptist, Jesus identified himself with humanity's sin and need for redemption, signaling his mission to save and reconcile humanity with God. This event also received divine affirmation, as the heavens opened and God's voice proclaimed Jesus as His beloved Son, further empowering him for the mission ahead. Thus, baptism was both a preparation and a public declaration of his divine purpose.

(God creates, Jesus dies and rises again, and the Holy Spirit empowers belief). Baptism is a sacrament of the church and doesn't bear on the doctrines being taught in the Apostle's Creed.
