The faithful teach that baptism is a purge from sin. 'Purge' is to dip into liquid to cool, harden, or even soften something that needs reshaping. To Purge is normally mentioned along with two other types of baptisms: Purify and Refinement. Both of which come after being Purged.
The Book of Hebrews(6:1-2) lists several ways in which baptism is can be used:
- repentance leading from darkness and death,
- faith in Almighty God,
- instructions on water baptism,
- laying on healing hands,
- resurrection of the worldly death; and lastly,
- release from eternal damnation to the heavenly judgement
Figuratively, Mark 10:38 tells us that following of Jesus is an actual baptism. Whereas, Jesus spoke of baptism as a division he caused by his fulfillment to a the divine for world salvation, Luke 12:50. And in 1 Corinthians 10:2-4 baptism as physically having the faith in God.

Apostle Paul said he gained insight as well as a physical sight after being blinded by way of Damascus...the incident bookmarked the sinful Paul with a physical condemning into utter blindness. Ananias then doused upon Paul a spiritual healing, and ordered Paul, the new believer, to a physical baptism to physically testify to God's in request a forgiveness from the All Mighty Himself (Acts 9:10). Paul states that he choose a water submersion in a attempt to accepted a purified vision of Jesus as Christ in the years that followed.
1 Corinthians says baptism is being blended into one unit of and with many parts (1 Corinthians 12:12-13), and the Holy Spirit is the deliverer of this new wisdom, faith, healing, one spirit, powers, prophecy, distinguishing spirits, tongues and its interpretations that may come upon you as performances for and with Christ Jesus.

Yes, a baptism is used to 'made ready' for an occasion. Important to remember...baptism is only unto to the Almighty God called "I Am". Don't be confused. Partaking in a baptism through an obligated church creed, you are wholly reserved to that church's renderings and its baptismal creed. That is not biblical, church creed is made so that man can understand man. Baptism through faith is to give a decree only to God, no one and nothing else.. (1 Corinthians 1:13-17)

Baptism is the very beginning a renewal toward salvation. Truth is salvation, so live in truth knowing that baptism started you again in cleanliness of a new soul. Baptism at the completion of our divine task also leaves a good feeling in the heart. (Numbers 6:21). Showering after long work, exercise, or abstance feels wonderful. You can baptize through purging after an arduous task, whether mentally or physically. Through the baptism of John is understood by persons as to be saved for a continued observance, Jesus never said that. He only said that it had to be done that way. Al-and-all, baptism is understood as 'giving and receiving' a wholly wholesome blessing.
John 3: 23-27

At this time John the Baptist was baptizing at Aenon, near Salim, because there was plenty of water there; and people kept coming to him for baptism. 24. (This was before John was thrown into prison.). 25. A debate broke out between John's disciples and a certain Jew over ceremonial cleansing. 26. So John's disciples came to him and said, "Rabbi, the man you met on the other side of the Jordan River, the one you identified as the Messiah, is also baptizing people. And everybody is going to him instead of coming to us." 27. John replied, "No one can receive anything unless God gives it from heaven
Make a place within our hearts, sweet Holy Spirit. Wisdom is a spirit that follows those who serve and reserve in baptism. Daily tasks are nothing without a cleansing to prove it worth. A renewed mission from the Most High God in the hearts of those who understand Him. Baptized is faith, and, so, as believers it is through baptism that the sole always waits for You. Amen
