Sis:
OF COURSE the Apostles were baptized with water in Jesus' name! 
Why would they preach that it was part of the only way to be
saved, and then not partake of it themselves??  They had to
receive the Holy Ghost just like everyone else.  Those under
John's baptism had to be rebaptized in Jesus' name.  It just
makes sense that the Apostles did, too.

Me:
John 4:2
(Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples,) 

Which, since there is no punctuation in the Greek could be
rendered: "Though Jesus Himself baptized none except his
disciples", which I firmly believe is the correct translation.
