1 | What is the answer to this question? | Luke 20:4 | following him | 123340 | ||
Hello Rowdy; Baptism began in the Tabernacle that Moses set up in the wilderness (at God's direction). The priests were required to wash with water from the laver prior to putting on their priestly garments and entering into the Tabernacle. It was a requirement for them to do this before they entered into the service of God. This "maybe" what Jesus was talking about when he told John to baptise Him to fulfill all righteousness, John's baptism was one of repentance, Jesus had no sins to repent of but He was preparing to enter into the service of God and redeem man and become our high priest. The baptism of John being one of repentance was for the people a preperation for them to have their hearts turned back to God. Wasn't that his ministry, to prepare the way of the Lord? So I would have to say John's baptism was from heaven God bless |

Thank you very much. That was very enlightening. I've always wondered how and why the practice of baptisms got started. Your post makes a lot of sense. God bless. --Rowdy | ||||||
