Baptism of John the Baptist: Since the baptism of John the Baptist was a "baptism of repentance," was it symbolic of repentance back to The Law? Ethiopian Eunuch: Was the Ethiopian Eunuch a Jew? [Acts 8:26-40]. Baptism of Repentance: Should we still be baptized with water, or is the "baptism of repentance" how we should think of it, no longer using water, but laying on of hands? [Acts 19:1-7, Acts 10:47].
