Hope

Matthew 3
13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. 14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Lets say John is a woman and Jesus went to meet her. Jesus chases after her. He was underwater but breathing fine. When he went up out of the water, he saw a dove which means hope. I told you the Bible talks of dating. The name John was just an alias like writers of today have pen names. To be clear, Jesus is not gay. But he was not a saint.

So spiritually, baptism is when you are being immersed in the teachings and then after thinking and deliberation, you see hope in it. Then you start applying all the teachings you have read and understood.
