[QUOTE="plain jayne, post: 76001507, member: 429776"] John's purpose was to get people to repent and turn to God. He prepared the way for Jesus. He baptized people into that commitment, but it was not a believer's baptism. Just a sign or confirmation of a desire to change one's ways. Jesus' ministry was a ministry that ONLY he could perform. The miracles, the forgiveness of sin, and teachings directly of God via his own mouth as he along with the Father and the Holy Spirit ARE God. The disciples who continued after Christ were not in competition with John. [/QUOTE]
