I think that the Creator Himself baptized Himself (with fire, that is a metaphor referring to the baptism with the Holy Spirit). John baptized only with water, as he specifically said.
This can be found in the Bible. Read carefully, the Father baptized Jesus (the Son) with the Holy Spirit, after John the Baptist had baptized Jesus just with water, as John himself said some verses before.

Summary:

The Father baptized the Son (Jesus) with the Holy Spirit. This was the real baptism.
John baptized Jesus just with water. This was just a symbol.

This is exactly what happens to any Christ follower today: the baptism with water is just a symbol (done by a Pastor)... the real baptism is with the Holy Spirit, and is done by God.

*NOTE*: Jesus (the Son of God, the Verb, the Word, the Logos) was (and is) the Creator of everything.
Remember that there is only one God, in three persons. The person named Son is Jesus, who ever existed and created everything in the beginning (Jesus is the Verb).

That's a really good question this is one that acually makes me think since I don't except the trinity I have to really think I could say that the creator doesn't have to be baptised but I am not sure because we are told in the bible that "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God" (John 3:3). He then added, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (v. 5) Here Jesus is making it clear that for the rebirth to occur at least two things must happen: a person must be born of water (baptism) and be born of the Spirit (Holy Ghost). The rebirth is a very personal, spiritual experience which usually follows water baptism and reception of the gift of the Holy Ghost. In fact, we have no New Testament account of individuals being "born again" until after they had been baptized by water. We are also told In John 5:19, Christ said "The Son can do nothing, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." this is a great question!!!!!! I acually have to think about it!!!! this is the first question I have acually had to think about in a while Thank you!!!!!


You know what I was thinking about it, I need to research more But Jesus Didn't Baptise himself John the Baptist did so maybe Heavenly Father was not baptised? Also Heavenly father being the creator is able to make rules and regulations if you will about who will Enter his Kingdom once built. Matt. 5:48, where He tells us, "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect." If the Father was "perfect" in Matt. 5:48 but Christ was "made perfect" through His Atonement, and Resurrection
so we are told the father is already perfect in every way .

John the Baptist baptized the Creator. The Lord Jesus is the Creator. There is a record of this and it's in the Bible.

This story of Jesus being baptized by John the Baptist (for his sins, which is why people got baptized) was an embarrassment for the early Christian church (since Jesus was supposed to have no sin), so other Gospels downplayed this event or rewrote the script. Compare the baptism story in Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, and note the differences. The Gospels were also heavily edited, or redacted, over hundreds of years.

John the Baptist baptized Jesus in His human manifestation though He did not need it because He was manifest in the flesh but without sin. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are one and the same. 1 God, 3 Divine persons in the 1 God.

my guess is that he didn't`t require it, remember that the whole purpose of baptizing is to (symbolically) pronounce ourselves (and our kids) as children of God, it wouldn't`t make sense for God to declare himself as his own child.

For the record JOJO, Jesus is the Savior and Messiah, but not the creator, when he was born there was a whole population ahead of him, the only creator is God. Yes, Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist (who was the first person to baptize and declare people as the children of God) but God came way before that.

Baptism is not a requirement of salvation, it's simply an outward showing that you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior and you are identifying with His death, burial and resurrection.
The Creator had no need to do this! The Creator does not need to accept Jesus Christ as His personal Savior, because Christ is part of the Trinity.
