How does john baptist baptise people?

John baptized the people with water from the river Jordan. Answer When John baptized Christ he did so in the River Jordan "As there was much water there". According to the importance of there being much water, John fully immersed those who came to him for baptism. John would have used the fully immersed baptism in all of his baptizing. One cannot symbolically come out of the water having left the old self behind by simply sprinkling the candidate.
