In most verses where baptism is used It means baptism in the Holy Ghost and it has nothing to do with water.

St Matthew 3;11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: The 28th chapter of St Matthew 19 verse I have no idea why it is written as such. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The problem is man has nothing to do with giving anybody the Holy Ghost. Which is a requirment of salvation.

The only thing that John the Baptist was, was a witness of Jesus receiving the Holy Ghost. Jesus never needed to be born again because He was born without sin. St John 1;6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

John was (the witness) that Jesus received the Holy Ghost
when He was baptized in water, by John. St Matthew 3;16 And Jesus when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God (Holy Ghost) descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: It never lit on Him but it went in His mouth and down His throat. I know because that is how it happened to me.

It would suprise me if those that John baptized are going to end up in the kingdom of God, because it has nothing to do with the plan of salvation then nor now.

I have known Children in there adult years seeking to find out if they where baptized as a baby. As if that, is going to make a difference at the day of judgement. Man has made up the , "age of accountability." I know it sounds nice but there is nothing to it. Psalm 58;3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.

Those that haven't been born again and receive the Holy Ghost will not go to the kingdom of God.

St Mark 1;8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

Shamefully, baptism, in a lot of churches is used as a tool, as if it means something, and who else can perfore it except the preacher.

Nothing has changed, because man's heart has not been changed.St John 6;26 Jesus answeared them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loves, and were filled. 27 Labor not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endurth unto everlasting life, (which the Son of man shall give unto you:) for him hath God the Father sealed.
