The so-called baptism in the river Jordan is actually a Torah-based purification ritual called the "MIKVEH".

Yes John the baptist started baptizing people in the river Jordan.
we call him that because he was the first to legitimately baptize, and because he baptized Jesus
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.
Actually nobody did baptize John the Baptist.
Nobody.
Because St. John also known as St. John the baptist was the first person to ever baptize somebody. He baptized Jesus in the Jordan river and many more people.
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)
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."
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.
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.
No; John the Baptist baptized Jesus in the River Jordan.
