Q1. (John 13:10) Jesus seems to speak to Peter in symbolic language here.

In what sense does a "full bath" represent baptism?

If this is so, then what kind of needed cleansing does "footwashing" symbolize?

After we have accepted Christ as our Lord and Saviour and accepted His cleansing of our sins, then having followed Him through waters of baptism, which would symbolize this cleansing. In a sense this would be the full bath referred to above.  When we sin, this would then symbolize dust coming onto us, we need to come back to Jesus for cleansing, this would be by confessing the sin and symbolically, washing our feet and cleansing the dust off from them.

The needed cleansing referred to would then be confessing and repenting from our sin.
