baptism johns - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Baptism, John's
  was not Christian baptism, nor was that which was practised by
  the disciples previous to our Lord's crucifixion. Till then the
  New Testament economy did not exist. John's baptism bound its
  subjects to repentance, and not to the faith of Christ. It was
  not administered in the name of the Trinity, and those whom John
  baptized were rebaptized by Paul (Acts 18:24; 19:7).
