Hello canawedding, Mark 1:14-15 does not say that Jesus' ministry began after John went to prison. And Jesus' disciples most certainly baptized with water during his earthly ministry (John 3:22; 4:1-3) before John was imprisoned (John 3:23-24). Steve |

Mk 1:14. Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the Gospel of God, 15. and saying, "The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent ye and believe in the Gospel." [After John was delivered up!] Mt 4: 12. Now when He heard that John was delivered up, He withdrew into Galilee ... 17. From that time began Jesus to preach and to say, "Repent ye! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!" [Listen to Him!] Jn 3: 23. And John also was baptizing in Enon near to Salim because there was much water there and they came and were baptized. 24. For John was not yet cast into prison. [FOR JOHN WAS NOT YET CAST INTO PRISON. I truly hope you will begin to read these critical Scriptures much more carefully.] Ac 10:37: ... that saying ye yourselves know, which was published throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached ... [AFTER THE BAPTISM THAT JOHN PREACHED!] Ac 11:16. And I remembered the Word of the Lord, how He said, 'John indeed baptized with water but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit." 17. If then God gave unto them the like Gift as He did also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God? ["Withstand" means OPPOSE!] Ac 13:25: 25. And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, "What suppose ye that I am? I am not He. But behold, there cometh One after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose." Ac 19:4. And Paul said, "John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on Him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus." 5. And when they heard this, they were baptized into the Name of the Lord Jesus. 6. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spake with tongues and prophesied. [The 3000 in Ac 2 and Saul/Paul in Ac 9; Ac 22; Ac 26, all were saved when they called on the Name of the Lord and some also had hands laid on them. Can you explain in a sentence or two how calling on the Name of the Lord saves us and what actually takes place when we call on the Name of the Lord to be saved? I am not asking because i do not know.] When Jesus Christ healed people during His earthly Ministry, people who could not even walk, they were not baptized with physical water at all. When Jesus Christ sent out His disciples, two by two, there was no possibility for any physical water baptisms to take place in His very detailed instructions because there is only the one baptism now of Eph 4:4-7, the one baptism of the One Spirit that we must spiritually drink, Jn 7:37-39; 1Co 12:13-14. I will repeat: There were no physical water baptisms by Jesus Christ's disciples during His earthly Ministry and Ac 8; Ac 10-11 can also be easily explained again for those who want to know, anne |

Hello anne, I think we have a difference on what we mean by "earthly ministry." I mean that Jesus went around teaching, healing, and making disciples (obvious from John 2-3). Your definition appears to be his proclamation to "repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." As to water baptism, Scripture clearly states: After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing. (John 3:22) If Jesus' disciples were not baptizing with physical water, then the following makes no sense: Now a discussion arose between some of John's disciples and a Jew over purification. And they came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, he who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you bore witness-look, he is baptizing, and all are going to him." (John 3:25-26) John's disciples saw the baptisms taking place. Steve |

There were no physical water baptisms by Jesus Christ's disciples after John the Baptist went to prison during Jesus Christ's entire Ministry on this Earth while He was in His sinless human flesh. The Scriptures i have already quoted overwhelmingly prove that Biblical fact and here are more. The Scriptures are very clear but if you do not want to see, then you won't, Jn 9. Ro 3:19. Now we know that what things soever the Law saith; it speaketh to them that are under the Law, that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be brought under the Judgment of God 20. because by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified in His sight for through the Law cometh the knowledge of sin. 21. But now apart from the Law a Righteousness of God hath been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets [Does this include John the Baptist? Yes, it does.] 22. even the Righteousness of God through Faith in Jesus Christ unto all them that believe, for there is no distinction ... [Is this about Mt 6:33; Mk 1:14-15; Ro 1:16-21; etc? Yes, it is!] Lk 16:15. And He said unto them, "Ye are they that justify yourselves in the sight of men but God knoweth your hearts, for that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God. 16. The Law and the Prophets were until John. From that time the Gospel of the Kingdom of God is preached and every man entereth violently into it. 17. But it is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Law to fall. 18. Everyone, that putteth away his wife and marrieth another, committeth adultery and he that marrieth one that is put away from a husband committeth adultery." Ro 7: 1. Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the Law), that the Law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth? 2. For the woman that hath a husband is bound by Law to the husband while he liveth but if the husband die, she is discharged from the Law of the husband. 3. So then if, while the husband liveth, she be joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress but if the husband die, she is free from the Law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man. 4. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ, that ye should be joined to Another, even to Him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God. 5. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the Law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6. But now we have been discharged from the Law, having died to that wherein we were held, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter. [Only those who "serve in the newness of the Spirit" belong to the saving Law of the Spirit of Life and they belong to that Law after beginning at Mt 6:33. What, exactly, did you find first? Jesus Christ expects us to first find something very specific but it is in plain sight.] anne |

Hello anne, It's settled then. You have wisdom and knowledge greater than the Holy Spirit as given to the apostle John in his gospel account. Steve |

Did you read Jn 3:24? I will spell it out for you: 24. For John was not yet cast into prison. All true Christians will have the very same "Mind of Christ" since we all have the one and only anointing from the Holy One of God that the apostle John described so well in 1Jn 2. What he described there is the very same baptism Paul always described in Scriptures such as 1Co 12:12-13; Eph 4:4-7. And, here is another perfect description of that same anointing in 1Jn 2: 1Co 1:30. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, who was made unto us Wisdom from God and Righteousness and Sanctification and Redemption, 31. that, according as it is written, 'He that glorieth, let him Glory in the Lord!' 1Co 2:14. Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him and he cannot know them because they are spiritually judged. 15. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things and he himself is judged of no man. 16. For who hath known the Mind of the Lord, that he should instruct Him? But we have the Mind of Christ! |
