A:Exactly when John the Baptist was arrested and executed is uncertain. The synoptic gospels say that the arrest and execution would have occurred quite early in the mission of Jesus, but John's Gospel places it sometime later, although still well before the crucifixion of Jesus. As with the gospels, the first-century Jewish historian Josephus says that John was arrested after the marriage of Herod Antipas to his own brother's former wife, but says that the marriage took place in 34 CE and provides other information that indicates that John was arrested and executed in 35 or early in 36 CE, after the death of Jesus.

The first New Testament gospel to be written was Mark's Gospel, so this could be closer to the actual events in the mission of Jesus. In Mark 1:14, John was imprisoned and then Jesus came into Galilee and began to preach.

Did John Baptist go to heaven after he died?

Yes.There was not a greater man that John the Baptist, according to Jesus. He was the forerunner of Jesus who was the Messiah. John was a born again believer so, of course, he went to heaven.Matthew 11:11 (KJV) Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.Luke 7:28 (KJV) For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.Jesus, however, was greater than John the Baptist because Jesus was God.John 5:36 (KJV) But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.


If John the Baptist acknowledge Jesus as the Son of God then why did John and his followers not follow Jesus but continued with his ministry?

John the Baptist was a forerunner sent to announce the coming of the Savior. He was not called to follow Jesus literally but to make Jesus' bride ready for Jesus.The forerunner in ancient Hebrew wedding customs was the friend of the bride groom, he ran ahead of the bridegroom when the bridegroom's father told him it was ok to go and get his bride, then the forerunner would go ahead of the bridegroom and announce to the bride that her bridegroom was coming, if the forerunner followed the bridegroom then the bride would not be able to make herself ready.Jesus is our the bridegroom and the church is the bride, God designates certain people to be forerunners and announce the coming of the bridegroom. John didn't follow Jesus because he was called to make the bride (or believers in Jesus) ready or prepared with repentance to receive Jesus.Jesus talked about new wine in old wineskins, what John did was call people to repentance which made new wineskins for Jesus (the new wine) to be able to be poured into and not burst.


Who was the first person to be baptized in the Bible?

In the King James versionJohn the Baptist is reported as baptizing people in Matthew 3. They were unnamed.He baptizes Jesus in Matthew 3 : 16, and in Mark 1 : 9, and in Luke 3 : 16, and in John 1 : 34John 3 : 22 mentions that Jesus baptised people - but they are not namedJohn 4 : 2 states that the disciples were NOT baptisedActs 1 : 5 has Jesus telling the discipels that they will be baptized with the Holy GhostThe first baptisms after the death of Jesus are mentioned in Acts 2 : 38 when Peter urged the crowd to be baptized but the verses don't say who did it, ot who the baptized were.Answer:According to Paul... about two million-plus Israelites and who knows how many miscellaneous Gentile escapees exiting Egypt at the first Passover: "... were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea..." (I Cor.10:2).So, if that qualifies as a baptism... perhaps the first person baptized was "NOAH."
