Some religious groups in existence today base some of their teaching on “modern-day revelations,” giving high praise to those whom they consider to be prophets of God.

“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John” (John 1:6). That statement does not refer to John the apostle, but rather John the Baptizer, a man who played a key role in God’s plan of redemption. One part of John’s activities was something that the Bible calls “the baptism of John.” We
