In the first century, Jesus commanded his followers to make disciples of people of all nations, and those who embraced his teaching were baptized.
(‏ خروج ١٩ :‏ ​ ٤ -‏ ٩‏ )‏ وَفِي ٱلْقَرْنِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ،‏ أَوْصَى يَسُوعُ أَتْبَاعَهُ أَنْ يُتَلْمِذُوا أُنَاسًا مِنْ جَمِيعِ ٱلْأُمَمِ ،‏ وَٱلَّذِينَ قَبِلُوا تَعْلِيمَهُ ٱعْتَمَدُوا .‏
