[John 1:33 KJV] "And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."...........John was sent to water baptize.

[Mark 16:14 KJV] "Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen."
[Mark 16:15 KJV] "And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature."
[Mark 16:16 KJV] "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."
[Matthew 28:16 KJV] "Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them."
[Matthew 28:18 KJV] "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."
[Matthew 28:19 KJV] "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:".........These "commissions" were only given to the twelve apostles to carry out. Jesus sent Peter and the disciples to the nations to be water baptized.

[1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV] "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect."...........Paul was not sent to water baptize. Paul was not sent as John was to water baptize to make Jesus known to Israel. Paul was not sent as the twelve to have the nations baptized. Paul did not think the "commissions" Jesus gave the twelve apostles in regard to baptizing the nations was intended for him to carry out. Paul acknowledged he was not sent for the purpose of water baptisms.

all apostles are sent and that includes baptism

mt 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

even Paul as He admitted

but Paul was not primarily sent to baptize or only to baptize
