If what John was bringing was something new, like is commonly believed in church, how do you think the people at the time would have responded?
If some rando today said we had to do some new ritual to show our relationship with God and it wasn’t in the Bible, would you accept it, challenge it, or reject it?
John wasn’t bringing something new. The baptism process is explained in the Law of Moses.
