Symbolic Meaning of Water Baptism

Book excerpt: When we hear the word "Baptism," we first think about water; many religions use it as a sign of faith. Did you realize that the word "Baptism" means more than water? At the beginning of YAHUSHUA's earthly ministry, YAHUAH sent John the Baptist to the nation of Israel to call that nation to repentance. Read Matthew 3:11, which states, “11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Ruach Ha’Kodesh, and with fire.” John baptized the nation of Israel with water; he said that YAHUSHUA would come and baptize them with the Ruach Ha’Kodesh (Holy Ghost) and with fire. There are many types of "Baptisms" in the Bible, but what is the significance of the “water?” Why is it necessary for the “water” to be “living water?” Do we need a repentant heart before we are immersed? These are a few of the questions that will be answered.
