    The Proof of the Baptism of Jewish Proselytes Inquired Into.

    By John Gill

    EXO 12:48

    John Gill examines the historical evidence regarding the baptism of Jewish proselytes, arguing that there is no substantial proof of such a practice existing before or during the times of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. He highlights that the Old Testament, Apocryphal writings, and early Christian literature do not mention baptism as a rite for proselytes, emphasizing that circumcision was the primary requirement for conversion to Judaism. Gill concludes that the absence of references to proselyte baptism in various historical texts suggests that this custom did not exist in the early Jewish community. His thorough investigation raises questions about the origins of the belief in proselyte baptism and its implications for understanding early Christian practices.
