Luke 3:3

He went around the whole region by the Jordan [river]. There he preached the baptism of repentance (an outward baptism as evidence of a renewed mind and a changed heart) leading to forgiveness of sins (deliverance, remission, also a medical term for the release of an affliction and recovery).
[The Greek word for baptism is baptizo which means "to dip into". There is a difference between John's baptism of repentance and believer's baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus, see Acts 19:3. John's baptism was preparatory and was about repentance from sin, not necessarily confession of Jesus as Lord. Believer's baptism takes on its full meaning only after Jesus' resurrection, see Matt. 28:19. In baptism, the believer identifies with Jesus' death, burial and resurrection, see Rom. 6:4–8. In baptism there is of course also the aspect of repentance and change of mind, but also the promise of the Helper the Holy Spirit who gives the power to live the new life, see Acts 2:38; Matt. 3:11.]
