If John`s baptism was for repentance, then why do you think Jesus was baptized?
Although Jesus had never sinned He lived as a man before all started, he had to be baptized as an initiation for everything to come. His soul was filled with sacrifice and the spirit of God. Let`s not forget He came to die for our sins and when everything started he was a clean new soul, the one that was going to die in the cross and took the sin of the man with Him. Thank you Jesus!!

Yes, John was for repentance for forgiveness of sins and he was preparing the way for the messiah to fulfil what was prophesied in the old testamement. Jesus was batised because He took the sinful nature of man so that He also can be forgiven. Jesus was even preparing Himself for Satan temptation in the wilderness. The other reason was to let us know that God is three in one ''TRINITY''. This is why we learn that the Spirit of God decended like a dove and the voice was heard saying this is my begon son in Him AM pleased. Jesus also was leting people believe what John was preaching about. Jesus `s baptism is by the Holy Spirit. AMEN!!!!

Jesus was baptized to set an example for us that with baptizing in water in HIS name and without receiving HIS Holy Spirit we cannot enter HIS Kingdom.

Jesus was a holy man without sin. So he gave his life for us to live and he also forgives us of our sins if only we ask in Jesus name.

Hello dear friends, Now Jesus had to be baptized to saw us the way to go or to take we an example and when you believe and get baptized you recieve the holyspirit and it`s a symbol of Repentence before God.That`s why we see John the baptist telling the people to Repent and get baptized.When you get baptized your sins are washed and you`re renewed and that implies that baptism is a total submission to the lord.So Jesus was baptized to show us what we are suporsed to do.

If John`s baptism was for repentance, then why do you think Jesus was baptized?
Jesus was baptized because although He was without sin, He came to set a perfect example for us and this is God`s Will that we repent of our sins and baptism is the telling of others of our commitment to our Lord and of our new life in Jesus Christ.

thats when God send the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove. After that, and after jesuses resurection we also recieved the holy spirit. I believe that was the reason.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophets,
"Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
'Make ready the way of the Lord!
Make his paths straight!'"
John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins. John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey. He preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen. I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

Mark 1:1-8
