In The Bible, we learn that Jesus Christ approached John the Baptist and asked to be baptized in the Jordan River. This is the first account of a baptism, but it can be assumed that baptism existed for at least a short time prior to that. Some believe that it has been praticed since Adam and Eve, some believe it evolved out of the Law of Moses, and others believe it started shortly before the baptism of Jesus.
