    John the Baptist did all the baptizing.

    Jesus has His disciples do all His baptizing.

    John 4:1-2, ". . . When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus makes and baptises more disciples than John (however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples), . . ."

    I think Christ caused every born anew believer to be baptized into His spiritual body,

    Matthew 3:11
    “As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

    Romans 6:3
    Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?

    When God gives an individual to Christ, they are transferred into Christ spiritually, and Christ has promised to never cast them out, John 6:37.
