JORDAN RIVER BRANDON, FLORIDA
Mark 1:9 And it came about in those days that Jesus came from
Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan River. 1:10
And immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the
Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;
Then the people of Jerusalem and all Judea were going out to him, and all the region along the Jordan, and they were baptize by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. (Matthew 3:5-6)
Baptism comes from Greek "Baptizo", which means to “immerse". Baptism is based on old testament laws of ceremonial washings, and is a custom also in current Jewish religion. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
