John was ripe for the proclamation of the message of the coming kingdom, but this expectation of the coming of Elijah held him back for more than two years. 135:6.6 (1502.4) In May of this year, while he still lingered at Bethany ford, the priests and Levites sent a delegation out to inquire of John whether he claimed to be the Messiah, and by whose authority he preached
BLB - Jhn 3: Gospel of John 3 (Blue Letter Bible: KJV - King James Version)
Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Jhn 3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him
Teaching On the Importance Of Water Baptism
Not only are we being directly joined to the Lord through the Holy Spirit as a result of being saved, but we now also get to become an actual member of the Body of Christ, which is the Church itself. In other words, we are saved through the knowledge that the Word will give us, and through the Holy Spirit who will come to live on the inside of us at the moment of our conversions to the Lord
The Church started on the day of Pentacost, and the re-baptism that Paul did was to show that all have to be baptised in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,and we shall receive the gift ofthe Holy Spirit.This is a promise.

What The Bible Says On The Baptism Holy Spirit
The Telephone Cord Analogy Another analogy to fully understand how we can make direct contact with God and Jesus in heaven through the Holy Spirit is what I call the telephone cord analogy. During the confession session with the lord, the sins you really do not have any knowledge about, how does one go about that? Thanks once more, may the Lord grant you strength to run this christain and finish well, Amen
He rebaptized them and laid hands on them so that they could receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:5-6).What About Re-Baptism?Tens of thousands have had the experience of "repentance" at an early state in their lives. "Isn't the important thing that we worship Jesus Christ? Does it really matter how we worship Him?" Yes it does! Jesus said that the time would come when people would worship Him in a wrong manner! He said, "In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Mark 7:6-9).We must not swallow "hook, line, and sinker" what any man says
Two-Minute Apologetics
The words say it was raining cats and dogs, so, by golly, it was raining cats and dogs! That is the literalist, or fundamentalist, way of interpretation. If you were to read a passage in a book that said it was "raining cats and dogs outside", how would you interpret that? As Americans, in the 21st Century, you would know that the author was intending to convey the idea that it was raining pretty doggone hard outside
Orthodox Presbyterian Church
Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God's people and members of God's household." Both are "branches" in the same olive tree, Romans 11:17-26. But when you read the New Testament you find just the opposite! The New Testament lines right up with the Old Testament in continuing to assume that children of believers are included in the church

On the other hand, most evangelical Christians comer from Protestant churches that do not hold a rite of Confirmation for adults but rather offer adult Baptism.

Historical changes to the Watchtower Baptism Arrangement and Questions
(John 7:49) In addition to this, Jesus did away with the Mosaic Law, the arrangement of animal sacrifices and revealed the Sacred Secret, making Christianity significantly different to Judaism. Watchtower - 1985 Jun 1 p.30 "The first question is: On the basis of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, have you repented of your sins and dedicated yourself to Jehovah to do his will? The second is: Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization? Having answered yes to these questions, candidates are in a right heart condition to undergo Christian baptism." At Matthew 28:19, Jesus outlined a simple yet powerful baptismal process
The Sacrament of Baptism
Jesus said to her, "Believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem..." "The hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. When Jesus commanded the Apostles to go into all the world and to preach the Gospel to the whole creation, that those who believe be baptised and saved, Jesus made faith an important part of the Sacrament of Baptism (C.C.C

He loves the Lord Jesus with ALL HIS HEART, no sport or gadget or any temporary thing this world has to offer grabs his attention and affection as the Word does, even though he does not know an ounce as much as you do. Such a methodology is much more successful and enlightening than rationalizing or forcing passages into contorted directions that result in confused or contradictory renderings
John 4:1 Now Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that he was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John--
In other words, they heard of an extraordinary wave of popular excitement, yet of nothing answering to the Baptist's imagination of what ought to have taken place. 50, 25, 26); and Rabbi Chuda treated them as heathens, yet Simon ben Gamaliel regarded them as Israelites, and the 'Mishnah' shows that in many of their customs they resembled the Jews
Since rebaptisms are allowed- even encouraged- people, especially teenagers, are compelled to step up and be baptized every time someone that they want to impress is watching. He can go on and cast doubt on the third, and the fourth and so on incessantly (as he indeed has in mind to do), just as he has done with me and many in the matter of confession
The Church Ordinances - Baptism and Communion

And he told us how he had seen an angel standing in his house, who said to him, 'Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon whose surname is Peter, 'who will tell you words by which you and all your household will be saved.' And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning. Him God raised up on the third day, and showed Him openly, not to all the people, but to witnesses chosen before by God, even to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead
Why Did Jesus Have to Die? Biblical Answers
(NLT) (Also see Mark 9:31)Mark 10:32-34Taking the twelve disciples aside, Jesus once more began to describe everything that was about to happen to him in Jerusalem
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. John the Baptist
It was far-reaching, too, as we learn from Acts 18:25; 19:3, where we find that proselytes at Ephesus had received from Apollo and others the baptism of John. Now during the sixth month, the Annunciation had taken place, and, as Mary had heard from the angel the fact of her cousin's conceiving, she went "with haste" to congratulate her
It depicts the birth of Jesus and John in two parallel series of scenes, each with an angelic annunciation, conception, marvellous birth, circumcision, hymns greeting the children and predicting their destiny, and infancy.

Paradigmatic for his foray into the Gospels involves understanding Jesus as the new Moses, an important key to making sense of the Synoptic Tradition (Matthew, Mark, and Luke)
Christian Baptism: The Beginning
But their activity in baptizing (as also with teaching) is done in such a way that it stands out as something they were responsible for doing -- not 'if I feel like it' or 'when I get around to it', nor as a ceremony like other ceremonies that can be exchanged for another if they thought it would help. Ambrose went on to point back to the bitter water of Marah (Exodus 15:22), to the water used in healing Naaman the Syrian (2 Kings 5), and to the paralytic at the Bethsaida pool at Sheepsgate (John 5:1-9)
