Nobody.
Actually nobody did baptize John the Baptist.
John the Baptist said, "I baptize you with water, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."
we call him that because he was the first to legitimately baptize, and because he baptized Jesus
He baptized into water, but the one coming after him (Jesus) would baptize into the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 3:11 - "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." [NKJV] (Also Luke 3:16)
Jesus Christ. God sent John the Baptist to baptize. God gave him the authority to baptize and he baptized Jesus. The "Baptist" denomination is the only denomination mentioned in The Bible. The Baptist church originated with Jesus Christ in the land of Israel.
John the Baptist baptized people in the Bible by immersing them in water as a symbol of repentance and spiritual cleansing.
John the Baptist preached his message of repentance and baptized people in the Jordan River.
No; John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the River Jordan.
Actually, the Pharisees DID question him.
Because it was By St. John's Baptism that Our Lord was Anointed as the Messiah.
john was only a human, so he could only bless you with mortal things. but Jesus, however, can bless you with immortal things.
