for_his_glory, Do you believe that we must do everything that Yeshua Messiah/Jesus Christ speaks and does?Mat 3:13 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.
Mat 3:14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?
Mat 3:15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.
Mar 1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan.
Mar 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:
Mar 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Nowhere in these scriptures does it say anything about Jesus being our example as He has no sin. His baptism was was to show His humanity to man and to fulfill all righteousness before His ministry here on earth began. Unlike us He had no need to be baptized for the remission of sin as He had no sin. None of us by being dunked in dirty river water can fulfill any righteousness as we are made righteous by that of God alone.
