Baptism unto repentance

[kross]

I think I would like to read a couple of good explainations of what "Baptism unto repentance" means and how it pertains to JESUS getting baptised.

This is a carry over from a hijacked thread, but some of the discussion there seemed to have value.

Hello kross

For the meaning of baptism, we can go to Romans.........

Romans 6:3-4

V.3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

V.4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Both baptisms are talked about here:

(1) Spiritual baptism: (The Holy Spirit baptism, that happens when we get saved:)

Hello leoxiii

You asked........

There are two baptisms. One of water and the other of the Holy Spirit.

Actually there is but one baptism – there is “one Lord, one faith, one baptism” (Eph 4:5 ) just as there is one “new birth” – a birth of “water and the Spirit” – one birth but two elements - the water of baptism and the renewing influence of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God! (Joh 3:5 ASV)

What was John talking about here? There are two baptisms.

Matthew 3:11 (New King James Version)

I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit

Jesus knew that His baptism of the Holy Spirit comes from God and is required, where baptism of water is not of God, for man can do it. When Paul spoke in Ephesians, he was talking about the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Why else would Jesus tell them to terry in Jerusalem until they receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
