36: Baptism: Where Did It Come From?

Baptism wasn’t a new idea in the first century. While many assume immersion originated with John the Baptist, the Jewish people had been practicing ritual washings for centuries. In this episode, we explore the historical and religious roots of baptism, from the ritual mikva’ot of the Second Temple period to the proselyte conversions that shaped early Christian understanding. Why did God choose immersion as the means of entering a new life in Christ? Join us as we uncover the rich background behind this ancient practice and how Jesus redefined it for His followers.
