3 | Johns baptism? | Acts 13:24 | skccab | 193719 | ||
Hello Lionheart, I've heard that John's baptism was indeed unto repentance, but not unto salvation. He was performing what was/is known as a mikvah. It was performed back then and today by Jews as a cleansing and a renewal during a life-change - such as the bar/bat mitzvah (coming of age), getting married, changing careers, moving to a new city, etc. It represents the cleansing of the old and coming up out of the water fresh, ready to face the new. When I learned about this, it answered the question as to why Yeshua went into the water before John, cos He certainly didn't need repentance - but He was beginning His public ministry at that time. Shalom Cheri |
