Faith only? That's a man made up myth. And baptism is not a work, it's a commandment that we must obey. If you're not baptized for the remission of sins, you'll be lost in them. Paul's gospel is the gospel of Christ to all that choose to believe it. Paul's mission was to the Gentiles, not with...

It's virtually every one you cited and apparently agreed with, but then somehow say they only apply to the Jews.

Read a couple chapters latter. Paul was tge preacher, the orator, Apollos was apparently doing the physical baptisms. Read 1 Cor 3:6 6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. It, 1 Cor 1:17, didn't mean he didn't baptize because he says he did, nor does it mean or infer...

Paul was separated by the Lord to do his bidding. Paul's message is therefore as inspired as all else's were. If you're suggesting that Paul's message can't be trusted or should be questioned, that's ridiculous.

You are not making good sense and your logic can not be understood. Even some of the NT scriptures you quoted are contradictory to the claim you're making. I'm not even sure i understand what it is you're trying to prove. If there is some other way according to scripture to, wash sins and...

There are some transactions like the kjv which I do use and like, that however lead you to believe that the world ends like in Matthew 24, but in reality, the Greek says the end of the age, not world.

There is water. That shouldn't be an excuse. But too, the word is what it is and means what it means. The Greek word baptizo, mesns to dip, plunge, immerse. Does cat mean dog, or vice versa? Is bathing taking a bath the same as sun bathing? Is daylight the same as sunlight?

Maybe, maybe not. It's a pretty definitive choice of words that if not meaning exactly that, could have been stated differently.

Add Eph 3:21 21Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

The Ethiopian eunuch wasn't a Jew and he did exactly that. He confessed his belief in Jesus Christ (Acts 8:37) to Philip as was by him, which is totally consistent with and a perfect example of complying with Romans 10:9-10.

I've published this before, but here it is again for consideration Predestination (based upon the foreknowledge of God) Premise: God knows the beginning and the end, so therefore he must also know all that will occur within the entire expanse of time including everything that will occur in...

Which of the 44k varieties of "churches" do you mean? Because a building has a placard or sign on it or out front that uses the words "church", God, Jesus Christ, Holy this or that, Saint this or that, temple of this or that etc, etc, doesn't mean that the Lord's body assembles there, and the...

Unfortunately there is no consensus but that doesn't mean there isn't the truth; it means the truth is evading some who tend to hang on to preconceived notions and beliefs rather than allowing the word to guide them (to the truth).

How many truths are there or can there be? There's one. Close don't count. And difference in doctrine when it affects a subject like salvation, can't be brushed aside or accepted.

I'm not a Baptist; I'm a Christian, and your point has no meaning or merit. Just your words.

It seems we agree. The apostles laid their hands on Stephen which enabled him to perform the works and miracles he did. And I've read that many times. What is your point here? This was written to and had pertinance to them, not us.

I don't know what your point is. They, the apostles, laid their hands on Stephen which imparted the manifestation of the Spirit through him, enabling the miracles he performed. Acts 6 5This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, as...

And when is that?

1 Cor 13:8 gifts have ceased. All gifts. Don't confuse the indwelling of the Holy Ghost with miraculous gifts and manifestations which is what you're referring to by the Spirit falling on someone and thereby making a gift be manifested.

No one is baptized in the Holy Spirit today. It happened in NT biblical times when the apostles were alive since it was by their hands that the Spirit was manifested. Pay attention to scripture and context. No miraculous gifts of the Spirit exist today, not tongues, prophecy, healing, or anything.
