Detailed explanation-1: -It was John who baptised Jesus. Christians believe that baptising cleanses people from original sin and marks a person’s official entry into the Church.
Detailed explanation-2: -At Baptism we are “cleansed” of original sin (the fact that we are born without original holiness and justice), but Baptism doesn’t take away the tendency towards sin. It only restores our ability to have access to holiness and justice.
Detailed explanation-3: -Baptism is understood, therefore, as the total annulment of the sins of one’s past and the emergence of a totally innocent person. The newly baptized person becomes a member of the church and is incorporated into the body of Christ, thus becoming empowered to lead the life of Christ.
Detailed explanation-4: -Baptism confers original sanctifying grace, lost through the Adam’s sin, thus eliminating original sin and any personal sin.
