John 4:1-2 (ESV Strong's)
1 Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John 2 (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples),
The baptism with water is a sign of man confessing and coming to Jesus. It signifies making our hearts ready for the Lord, making His path straight through the wilderness of our hearts. It is something we do to acknowledge our faith in Him to cleanse us from our sin.
Jesus baptizes with the fire of the Holy Spirit that takes a ready heart and begins to transform us into new creations in the image of God with His abiding presence.
