Have you ever wondered when water baptism became a thing? Where did it start? What’s the history and context? John the Baptist is the first person mentioned in the Bible to be baptizing others, but if we look at scriptures, there are 3 types of water baptism found in the Bible.

• Jewish Ceremonial Washing (mikveh – mik-VA)

• John’s Baptism

• Christian Baptism

When we look at the history, we can see how God has always used water to awaken His people. And over the last year, we’ve seen that happen in an incredible way as baptisms have multiplied in a way that we could have never seen coming.
