That is he never gave instructions on how to baptize or why except in Matt 28. That is all that I meant. We know he did baptize or at least his disciples did. Remember Matt 28 is a commandment not an instruction on Baptism. John however did teach the Baptism of Repentance.
it is interesting to note that other than Matthew 28:19 Jesus never commanded anyone to baptize. That would have fell under teaching all things I commanded. So where do categorize Matthew 28:19? the all that he commanded which was all previous to this commandment in Matt 28:19 not included. Jesus before this commandment never taught anything on water baptism.
Other than John baptism the only other baptism he speaks of is his death to John and James
