John the Baptist baptized people in The Bible by immersing them in water as a symbol of repentance and spiritual cleansing.
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.
There were so many people who baptised people the apostles did baptize people, dont know if ou mean John the baptist.
Actually nobody did baptize John the Baptist.
John the Baptist preached his message of repentance and baptized people in the Jordan River.
Nobody.
So that he could prepare people for Christ's Coming.
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)
If you ever read the bible or watched a movie about John the Baptist he said that he knew that Jesus was the son of God and he really didn't have a problem with that. And when John the Baptist baptized the Son of God, before he even did it he fell to his knees and said to Jesus that he wasn't worthy enough to baptize Him.
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.
John the Baptist was not a crazy person. people believe that because they would NEVER baptize Jesus or do anything that John did. and since most people don't like to admit this they say that the people who do these things are crazy.
