"For the same reason Jesus was baptized by John, though he had no sins to repent."

"See what convoluted twisting has to be done when one accepts the notice that BAPTISM is NECESSARY unto salvation!!!"


=============================================================

So, to you, my reference pointing out the stated fact that "Jesus was baptized by John, though he had no sins to repent", amounts to "convoluted twisting"?

(The truth is that the only "convoluted twisting" in your post there was your response, Elsie.)
