John’s Baptism about?

The baptism of John the Baptist was not Christian baptism, nor was that which was practiced by the 12 disciples previous to our Lord’s crucifixion. Till then the New Testament covenant did not exist.

John’s baptism committed people 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).
