Immersion in a ritual bath (''Mikvah'')is required for Ger tzedek (converts to Judaism) as part of their conversion. Other rituals for conversion to Judaism include circumcision and an understanding and observance of all the relevant laws.

In modern times, the adherence and observance of the laws, rituals, and customs regarding the mikvah differ greatly among the Jewish denominations. The only modern exception is that after menses, women need to immerse in a mikvah in order to be permitted to her husband.

John the Baptist, a [[prophet]] who preached before [[Jesus]] started teaching, foretold the soon coming of the [[Messiah]].  John was called the Baptist, as he and his disciples would baptise (immerse in water) those who believed his message of repentance for the remission of sins.  [[Jesus]] himself was baptised by John the Baptist.

All the histories agree that the Early Church baptised by immersion in the Name of Jesus Christ.  This means that all of Jesus' disciples, the Apostle Paul, and even Mary (Jesus' mother) were baptised in the Name of Jesus Christ after the day of Pentecost.
