Messiah- The expected king and deliverer of the Hebrews; the Savior. The promised “anointed one” or Christ; the Savior. Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah who delivered mankind from its sins.

The Son of God- It occurs thirty-seven times in the New Testament as the distinctive title of our Saviour.
He does not bear this title in consequence of his miraculous birth, nor of his incarnation, his resurrection, and exaltation to the Father's right hand. This is a title of nature and not of office. The sonship of Christ denotes his equality with the Father. To call Christ the Son of God is to assert his true and proper divinity.
(Different from the sons of God who are anyone who acknowledge God as father and are adopted sons.)

Lamb of God- It carries out the image of the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Jesus as a new Passover: a lamb was killed for the Jewish Passover, and Jesus himself, in the sacrifice of his death and Resurrection, is the lamb for the new Passover.

Passover- The deliverance of the Israelites from the worst of the plagues of Egypt, and the annual festival kept afterward in memory of the event. Through Moses, God told the Israelites to prepare a special meal to be eaten in haste the evening before their escape from Egypt (see Exodus), with a whole roasted lamb as the main dish. The blood from the lamb was to be used to mark the Israelites' houses. That night, God would send the angel of Death to kill the firstborn males of the Egyptians (this was the worst of the plagues of Egypt), but God would see the blood on the Israelites' houses, and he would command his angel to “pass over” — to kill no one there. God told Moses that the Israelites were to repeat the meal each spring on the anniversary of their departure from Egypt. The Jews keep the festival of Passover to this day.

Baptize- "to immerse," from baptein "to dip, steep, dye, color." Is a symbol of and outward proclamation of being cleansed of sins, so that they are born into a new life with Jesus. Symbolize the death and burial to sin (immersion) on the one hand and the resurrection to the new life in Christ (Emergence) on the other.
(Baptism of fire - Made holy spiritually as a gift of the Holy Spirit) (John's baptism- a baptism of repentance)
