You're assuming things. After an apostle's departure from where ever, preaching, converting, and Baptisms obviously continued which is how churches grow; and all may not necessarily believe immediately upon hearing.

Read a bit earlier too in 1 Cor 1 where Paul said he thanked God that he baptized only a few people, so who baptized the rest of the church there? So yes, Paul was sent primarily to preach. And I'm sure Apollos likewise preached but also did the majority of the baptizing obviously since the...

Apollos did most of the baptizing, "watered".

Paradise is not below the earth. It's the 3rd heaven. 2 Cor 12 2I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven. 3And I knew such a man, (whether in the...

You don't understand that scripture. Read a bit further to 1 Cor 3:6 to understand what Paul meant. Paul primarily primarily preached, Apollos baptized, and God added to the body. 6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

Goodbye go pedal nonsense to a fool that will believe it

You do not understand the thief on the cross issue at all. The new testament didn't start until the death of Jesus meaning he forgave the thief while the old covenant was still in place, no different than others he forgave such as the adulterous woman. Baptism likewise was not yet in effect...

YOU can say nope all you want but it won't change what the scriptures say. Goodbye, believe whatever you like.

Water saves no one but being baptized, immersed in water, into the body of Christ does

It, God's saving grace, IS 100% dependent upon our doing something which you erroneously call a "work". It ain't a work. It's obedience. Doing what we're told. Does he save without belief and faith? No. Neither does he save without us doing whatever is required of us. Repentance, confession, and...

Jesus truly saves us but only after we've been obedient

Baptism is symbolic but that doesn't mean that it's not absolutely essential. Peter says Baptism saves us. We're told it washes away sins such as in Acts 22:16. Symbolic yes, because it's not the water itself, but it's obedience no different than when Naaman finally obeyed, dipped 7 times in the...

A good example of the gospel, the 'good news' and it's message, would be the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8. Not only was Jesus preached, but obviously, although not overtly stated therein, was sin and the need to be baptized as a remedy. Look at verses 36 and 37 below 36 And...

A short study I had written and previously posted on the subject of predestination based on God's foreknowledge. 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...

When the inspired word of God is written it becomes scripture. Greek words graphe, graphes, graphas, etc. (derivatives) = writing or writings

Yes. When that which is perfect is NOT talking about Christ since he is not a "that", nor is it talking about the great day of the Lord. It's speaking not in universal church terms either. I've written and posted about this previously. It's talking about the perfection of the body of Christ...

All have sinned, so, what is the remedy to remove sin according to the bible? It's not by following the "Great Commandment" you cited.

The spiritual gifts, all of them, those listed in 1 cor 12:8-10, were enabled by the laying on of the apostle's hands, and they are dead. Study the scriptures regarding this i would suggest.

How to "test a spirit or prophet"? Simple: there are no prophets today. The gifts of the Spirit (miraculous manifestations) have ceased long ago including prophesying. And now we have scripture to check and double check false teaching/teachers or the spirit which drives them.

Stick to the question which relates to the democratic party and voting for it, and if so doing, is it a sin in and of itself. So, what's a matter of the heart? I'm simply pointing out how the democratic party is inconsistent with God in general, in principle.
