     "Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him."  (Matthew 3:13)  NOT to be sprinkled, NOT to have water poured on him, NOT to shake hands with John and join the church.  NOT to raise his hands and say he accepts God as His personal saviour.  None of these things that false prophets are now teaching was ever practiced by Jesus, John, are any of the Apostles.  After Jesus Christ himself was baptized he received the Holy Ghost.  (See Matthew 3:13, 14 & 16)

    Dear reader, this example was set for the whole world regardless of creed, color, nationality, where you were raised are what you were taught.

    In all the world, we have only had three baptisms.   Everyone had to accept the one baptism that God gave Moses.  (Exodus 14:22 and I Corinthians 10:1-2)  There was not two or three ways ways to get it.  There was one way for everyone.  The bible says they were all baptized unto Moses in the clouds and in the sea.

    The next baptism was John's baptism, and everyone that refused to be baptized with the baptism of John rejected the counsel of God against themselves.  (Luke 7:28-30)

    The third baptism was the baptism in Jesus' name which was administered by Jesus and the Apostles.  (See John 3:22-26, Acts 2:38 & Acts 9:5)
