1 | Baptism was a church ordinance? | Luke 1:17 | MOTHERPHILO | 52339 | ||
So, you are basically saying that, baptism, in itself was practiced, but because John was not part of the "church", the religious people were questioning his authority or challenging it, unless they could determine that he was the Christ, the Prophet, or Elijah? | ||||||
2 | Baptism was a church ordinance? | Luke 1:17 | christian7 | 52348 | ||
the Baptism that John was doing...John being the only one who was doing this...had the religious Pharisees in an uproar because people were supposed to go to the Synagogue to have the Priest remove thier sins...John was preaching baptism for the repentance of sin (Luke 3:3) and the religious leaders wanted to know by what authority he was doing this...if you will notice MOTHERPHILO even as Jesus was praching that these leaders wanted all the attention brought to them and to no one else...anytime someone threatens thier position they get upset...but I would also like to add that when the truth is spoken that it always stops them in their tracks...I love the way that God's word says that God resist the proud and gives grace to the humble...they were just to proud...(James 4:6)... I hope this helps a litle more...God Bless you MOTHERPHILO and keep studying | ||||||
