Since the time of moses, baptism were already stated as what written in:

1 Corinthians 10:2
King James Version (KJV)

And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

This was when Moses divided the sea for the Israelites to crossed under it.

It was in the time of Christianity when baptism becomes a doctrine.
