Thank you.

Water is symbolic of the Holy Spirit. Water baptism is symbolic of the baptism of the Holy Spirit each believer undergoes when he is saved.

It is a statement to the world by the believer of his commitment to Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as a result of that commitment.

Indeed. Praise God!!!

And to underscore that point:

For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, [and] hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water. - Jer 2:13

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) - John 7:38-39

God's Name is I AM.
