It's him to baptize, especially in view of the fact that one of the last things Jesus said on Earth

was go and make disciples baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

To understand what Paul meant in denying that Christ sent him to be baptized,

we need to ask four questions. Number one, did the apostle Paul

oppose baptism or try to discourage his converts from being baptized?

Second, why did Paul not make it a practice

to do the baptizing himself by his own hands?

Third, what was the aim or purpose of Paul's mission?

And finally, then, what does all of this imply about our view and understanding of baptism?

Question number one, then, did Paul oppose baptism or try to discourage his converts from being baptized?

We can see in the letters that he wrote and in the book of acts that the answer is no.

On the contrary, Paul assumed that everyone to whom he wrote had been baptized and he based

many of his important teachings on that fact.

For example, in Romans 6.3, Paul says, do you not know that all of us who have been baptized

into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. We were buried

therefore with him by baptism into death so that as Christ was raised from the dead by

the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Now in that quote from

Roman 6-3, Paul assumes that all believers have experienced baptism and that they've been instructed about its meaning.

Another example is from Colossians chapter 2 verse 12 where Paul says to the Christians, you were

buried with Christ in baptism, in which you were also raised through

faith in the working of God who raised Him from the dead.

Here again, Paul does not treat baptism as an option that you can either choose or not choose.
