I know that you already know that Jesus was baptized. The opening of the sky and the voice from above, "This is my son..." What's funny is that you never hear of Jesus doing any baptizing! Of course, asking why he never did is like asking why he didn't just end world poverty and hunger while he was there, or why he agreed to turn water into wine for a wedding. He was a man acting on his own free will at those times. As to why he didn't baptize anyone...he did. According to modern Christian theology in nearly every denomination, his dying on the cross allows for "baptism through blood", or the salvation of a soul. Water? Who cares?

Author: E. Popp [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: Mon, Jul 26 2004, 14:57:15 B, If I may ask, where does scripture indicate "baptism through blood?" I am only familiar with baptism by water (administered by John the Baptist and Apostles) and a baptism by the Holy Spirit (i.e. Mark 1:8, Acts 1:4,5). E. Popp
