The Bible tells us clearly that only sinless and righteous people will go to Heaven. No sinner will ever be alowed there!
Why was Jesus who was sinless had to be babtised by John the Babtist, and who was John the Babtist and how did he fit into Gods plan of our redemtion from the sins of the world?

I have received a good number of answers to my Q from people who call themselves Christians and all of them differ from each other, how can this be?
It is because none of them are truly born again, if they were then they would have been able to see the mystery hidden in Jesus' babtism and able to answer it correctly.
Jesus told us that we must be perfect as He is perfect.
I therefore urge everyone to read; Have you truly been Born Again by the Water and the Spirit, by downloading our Free Christian books where the Righteousness of God can be found: www.bjnewlife
In it you will learn what Jesus' babtism really meant and who John the Babtist is, the man sent by God.
This is the true gospel given to us by God and not the one currently believed in that being, only the blood on the Cross. All those who believe in this half baked gospel are still standing outside of Christ and are His enemies. But you can change all that if you obey the true gospel of the water and the Spirit.

God cannot lie and He will never call anyone who is a sinner a righteous person. How can He? He called all of us to be sinless and righteous before Him. How can you stand there and say no one can be sinless? You are not yet born again for sure as your very words find you guilty even though you say what you say. If Jesus took all our sins away (past, present and future), then we will be made sinless by faith in front of Him. But if you continue to say what you are saying then you will be cursed by Him.
How do you understand this Scripture in Titus 3:10 " Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time. After that, have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man (or woman) is warped and sinful; he is self-condemmed."
Here God is saying to those who believe in His gospel of the water and the Spirit, to warn people like yourself twice who think that they are born again, but if they refuse to listen then leave them alone to be destroyed.

There is no such thing as "sinless" people. All have sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus was and is sinless, and He payed the price that we could never pay so that we could go to heaven. The reason that Jesus was baptized was to show an example of what we should do- when He was baptized God said "this is my son, in whom I am well pleased. Baptism does not save, by the way. It is an outward example of an inward change. John the Baptist is the one that God used to preach repentance, and introduce Jesus to the world, as the one that will take away the sins of the world. Does this help?
EDIT- can I ask you how you can say that we are not truly born again- are you God? I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that when I die, I will be with Jesus.

Building on what the first contributor said, Jesus said at His baptism by John (who was the prophesied forerunner to prepare the way) in Matthew 3:15, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting to fulfill all righteousness." Basically, He was baptised to FULFILL the law, not because He had broken it.
And also building on the first answer, you are technically right - NO SINNER will enter the kingdom of heaven, and that is explicit in Scripture. The truth of 2 Corinthians 5:17 is that the person who is IN CHRIST is a new creature. That is why TRUE conversion is not merely a mental decision made by a person, but a supernatural work of God to change a dead sinner, an enemy of God (Romans 5:10) into His child. (See Titus 3, Ephesians 2, 1 Peter 1...)

Jesus was setting an example, to Be Washed Clean, of the Living running Water of Father God in Heaven, and the Powerful Hand of Father God in Heaven who Hates Sin as should We also, SO this is washed in the Blood of the Lamb
Repent Means to Get Back and Right with Father God in Heaven, His word is very clear sinners no if without repent,
If we Change our ways as Sinners and the way we Treat Each Other, Then I would say We All have a Good Chance of going back to Heaven.

Only Jesus Christ was sinless. We can be righteous, but not completely sin-free. That is where the Atonement of Jesus Christ comes in. His mercy and grace makes us sinless after we have done all we can do so we can enter into Heaven.
Jesus had to be baptized to be an example to the rest of us. How can we be like Jesus if he's telling us to do essential things that even He didn't do? So... He was baptized to show us that it is an essential.
John the Baptist was preordained to be a prophet, to precede his cousin, Jesus, and to spread the word of the coming of Jesus. He helped spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Sinners.. (that's all of us!) need to die in Christ to be able to "Resurrect" with Him in Glory.
And so, for us to get to Heaven, we need to leave our bad selves, stop sinning, pray a lot, and follow the Commandments.
We already have a "guide" on how to get to Heaven. First, Jesus showed the Way. ANother example is the lives of saints who were transformed. Some saints were the worst of sinners before.. but they changed their lives and where are they now? in Heaven :-)
About John the Baptist, he was "A Voice Of One Calling in the Desert" He announced that Jesus was coming.

Firstly Jesus was baptized to be and example for us and he was symbolizing his life the death of the old man, the burial of the old man, and the resurrection
"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life" Romans 6:4
John the Baptist was the voice in the wilderness crying out to those that would listen to repent and he was the prepare the path for Jesus.
Those who go the heaven will be those who have a mature, deep relationship with Jesus. Here on earth when we give pur hearts to Jesus he will transform out hearts and more and more we will become more in the image of Jesus, this prepare us for heaven and prevent sin from entering heaven once again.
It says " Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see that Lord" Hebrew 12:14
However we must remember we can only become more holy like Jesus if we have a relationship with him.
"Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord shall enter the into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say in that day, Lord Lord have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" Matt 7: 22-23
Sounds like to me that these people claimed to be Christians and do shallow things however they didn't know God neither did they do his will, instead they continued on in their evil ways without developing the fruit of the spirit.
"But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance; against such there is no law. And they that Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." Galatians 5: 22-24
You will not be perfect but it is all about maturing in your relationship to God and it show outward, and be a light to others in a world full of suffering

Yes, Jesus was Born on this Earth "Sinless"---
but HE took on our "Sins"
(as a Human Being---GOD made Man)
and went into Hell to Redeem US---(HE took on Our Sins, that's how HE got into Hell---"Legally")
then The Father RECREATED HIM--
Yes- Jesus got Born-Again, in the Middle of Hell
The First Born of Many
Now, WhoEver Recieves Jesus as their Saviour GETS Born-Again (Spirit Recreated)
And Goes to Heaven, in the End of It All.
Thanky Jesus!

We who are Born again are dead to the law......and now alive in grace, not judgment.
But those who do not believe Jesus is the Christ they are in judgment already.
We are righteous by faith alone and not by any actions.
Not by any commandments but by faith alone we are free.
