Mandate of Israel:

The so-called "BAPTISM" in the Scriptures is actually a Jewish "MIKVEH". It is a purification ritual that is part of the TORAH. This ritual was assigned to Israel as part of their Mandate. This Mandate was not shared with the gentiles nor was it promised to the gentiles. The church in attempting to usurp the authority and mandate of Israel, adapted this ritual, paganized it and used it against Israel. This is part of the deception that the church spread throughout the world. They used this ritual to reinforce amongst the ignorant and the careless that the church is the congregation of Yeshua, Maschiach (Christ) of Israel. Yeshuah is not the Christ of the church, nor is the church the congregation of Yeshua. Otherwise, he is disqualified from the Office of the Maschiach (Christ) of the Congregation of Israel!

I can find no reference to any baptisms taking place before John. One must remember however that Adam held the Hight Priesthood and so held the authority to baptise. He also knew that Christ would come to the earth and preach His gospel. Adam preached the gospel to his children and as baptism is a covenant to obey the law there is nothing to contradict the fact that baptisms were performed before John.

Why was John the Baptist baptizing in the Jordan?

The Bible never says this of the Baptist. As John was the divinely appointed the forerunner of Christ (see Malachi 3:1; 4:5-6). John's baptism was from God. Matthew 21:24-26. Though Jesus insisted upon the physical baptism (Matthew 3:13-15), there is no reason to believe that John as forerunner and baptized by God needed to receive a physical baptism.
