John's BAPTISM of REPENTANCE: Focus/change your mind & direction towards God, wash/clean yourself up inside & out in preparation of meeting your long time promised Messiah. Who will remiss/forgive/padron your sins. Read Ex chapter 19 the washing & other preparation given before meeting the Lord. Add John's stated purpose: Prepare the way of the Lord: Mal 3:1, Matt 3:3, Mk 1:2, Mk 1:3, Lk 3:4.
Water baptism doesn't remiss sin, repentance doesn't remiss sin, obedience doesn't remiss sin, sabbath observance doesn't remiss sin, tithing doesn't remiss sin.
Faith & Faith alone, placed in the finished sin redemptive work & resurrection of Christ. Is the only way anyone's sins are remissed/pardoned! All the credit, all the glory, all the praise belongs to our great God & Savior, Jesus the Christ!
