He confessed, and didn't deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."

 Here we can learn a great deal of what the word baptism means. The Greek verb baptizein ( G907) means to dip or to submerge. It can be used of clothes being dipped in dye; it can be used of a ship submerged beneath the waves; it can be used of a person who is so drunk that he is soaked in drink. When John says that Jesus will baptize men with the Holy Spirit, he means that Jesus can bring God's Spirit to us in such a way that we are saturated and our life and being are flooded with that Spirit.
