What do you call the act that "John the Baptist" was doing if not baptisms?


I was not clear enough. Sorry. Here's what Apostle Paul thought about John's Baptism:

"It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples. He said to them, �Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?� And they said to him, �No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.� And he said, �Into what then were you baptized?� And they said, �Into John�s baptism.� Paul said, �John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.� When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying. There were in all about twelve men."
Acts 19:1-7

You can see Apostle Paul re-baptized them in the Name of the Lord.


So is Paul the one that came to baptize with the Holy Spirit and the Fire?
