Baptism is not the gospel, and so it is not what the apostles preached, nor should it be what the Christians should preach. I never said it was. The scriptures you cited is not the gospel, but is Peter's answer to the question of those to whom the gospel of Jesus Christ was preached, as...

Once again we have someone hanging their doctrine on a couple of verses picked out to strengthen their argument. I will say it again. YOU DO NOT build a doctrine on one or a couple of verses taken out of context. That is proof-texting which you can make say anything you want. To get a clear...

Esoteric mumbo jumbo.

To everyone here. You must realize that Tong will fight to the death to mitigate the need for water baptism. He is totally against it in any shape or form and even if you quoted a thousand verses that spoke of water baptism for the believer he will use some verse out of context to prove that you...

Proof texting does not constitute a doctrine.

Yes, I can understand that. I spent six weeks in the USA and to say the least it is impressive. Whilst there I corrected one mistake which was they say everything is big in Texas. I said the truth is everything is big in America. One big thing that was noticeable was their generosity. I was...

If that is the case Pearl, thank you for the info.

I am not going to do your homework for you. If I want to find out something I do my own research, not ask others to do it for me. It is not my thing to encourage people to be lazy. The scriptures do not say "get someone to search the scriptures for you." It tells you to search the scriptures.

NEW TESTAMENT LEADING How did the NTC get its leading bearing in mind that it did not have the New Testament to lean on? Acts chapter 8 gives some idea of how it happened. In verse 26 it says "Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Phillip, saying "Arise and go toward the south along the road...

You might like to hang your head in shame.

Did you know that your anger is showing?

I like your today's version of the passage.
