Did baptism start with John the Baptist? If it did, then why did everyone understand his command to get baptized and repent of sin? What about the water purification rituals in the Old Testament? Could this idea of baptism be older than Abraham? What if I was already baptized as a baby? Should I do it again as an adult? Does full immersion really matter? Is baptism required for salvation? If it’s not, then what’s up with the thief on the cross who ended up in paradise? If it wasn’t necessary for the thief is this just all symbolic? If its not, then why did Jesus specifically command it? If you ever wrestled with baptism, then this episode is for you.
