Now the baptism that Jesus would baptize with talked about here with John would be the one on Acts 2:38 where we are told to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin and receive the indwelling spirit
Something to mention . . . we were not actually told to be baptized in Acts 2:38.
Acts 2:36-39 KJV
36)
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37) Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
38) Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39) For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Peter addressed this to the "house of Israel". The question then is, does it also apply to us, now?
I feel that yes John's baptism is in water for the remission of sin and is not the baptism in spirit that Jesus would baptize with.
Why did John baptize?
Malachi 3:1 KJV
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.
Malachi 4:5-6 KJV
5) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6) And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Isaiah 40:3 KJV
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Matthew 11:10-14 KJV
10) For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11) 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.
12) And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
13) For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
14) And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
John was preparing the people for Jesus to come.
Matthew 21:24-26 KJV
24) And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25) The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?
26) But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Do you know the Jewish history of baptism?
Much love!
