A:There are mixed messages on this, even within the same gospel:
  • According to Matthew's Gospel - yes, because as soon as John saw Jesus, he forbade Jesus to be baptised. Yet, when John was in prison, he sent messengers to Jesus, asking of him whether he was the one he had promised would come.
  • Also according to Luke's Gospel, yes - John and Jesus were second cousins. The considerable detail that Luke records about the births of both John and Jesus attests that there must have been a very close family relationship. Nevertheless, when John was in prison, he sent messengers to Jesus, asking of him whether he was the one he had promised would come.
  • According to John's Gospel - no, because John says that he did not know Jesus until he saw the dove descend upon him.

Of course He did. They were related and even if they were not close they would have been aware of their family ties.

What is required for church membership in a Baptist church?

What is required for church membership in a Baptist Church? The answer is: First, you must be saved or born again (John 3:3). Being born again is receiving Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Believing that Jesus died for your sins and that he was resurrected on the third day. Romans 10:9-10"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Second. you must be baptized. This is scriptural baptism which is by immersion. Or, to go under and not by sprinkling. This baptism is after you have made your confession of receiving Jesus as Lord of your life. There are a lot of individuals who have been baptized after they were born or within their first year of birth. This baptism is meaningless. A baby cannot confess Jesus as Lord. So, in most Baptist Churches, if one was baptized prior to their confession or being born again, you would have to be re-baptized. Baptism is an act that is done after one have received Jesus as Lord and not before. These are the two things that all must do to become a member of most Baptist churches in America.
