yes, I mean could have.....Christ was his son......do you think that Christ, knowing that baptism was absolutely necessary for salvation would not have either baptized him or merely willed him baptized.you seem to have little confidence in what Christ did and what He could do. You also did not finish my statement as mI stated that if he were not baptized, he would be judged as were all Jews at he time....I'm still right.
“knowing that baptism was absolutely necessary for salvation”
And of course, water baptism is not necessary for salvation.
Has ROME re-defined what MUST means?
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
1 John 3:21-24
Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
