John the Baptist’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. John
the Baptist did not baptize in the name of Jesus.
In the book of Acts, which describes the beginning of the
church with the outpouring of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost and the
spread of the gospel, Apostle Paul re-baptized disciples of John the Baptist.
"And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at
Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and
finding certain disciples, he said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost
since ye believed?
“And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard
whether there be any Holy Ghost.
“And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And
they said, Unto John's baptism.
“Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of
repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which
should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
“When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the
Lord Jesus.
“And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost
came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied." - Acts 19:1-6
KJV
If you aren’t baptized in Jesus name, you need to be
re-baptized, just as they were in the Bible! (Acts 2:38)
