A mikvah is performed to ritually cleanse oneself: A mikvah is performed to adopt a gentile into national Israel. A mikvah is performed when one enters into the discipleship of a rabbi. A mikvah is performed in order to enter the Temple grounds. A mikvah is performed in the ordination of a priest. A mikvah is performed at the initiation of a life changing vow or ministry.

Great info. Overlay the above with the epistle of Hebrews and it matches.

Thank you. It is my opinion that Protestant tradition rightly stripped the catlick baptism of it's voodoo - But that left them a baptism without a purpose... Looking before the Greek/Roman baptism to the mikvah certainly fleshes out it's purpose, and lends another dimension to 'One Baptism'.
