I won't repeat what I have already said about baptisms (notice the “s” on the end, i.e. Heb 6:2). When I balance scripture with scripture, the "one baptism" theory just does not “hold water” with me. Of coarse I haven’t looked at Mark 28:19 yet; maybe that would throw the balance the other way :-). The baptism with the Holy Spirit is a difficult subject only if we try to come up with a different definition than what Jesus told us plainly in Acts 1:5, described in Acts 1:8, and was first manifested in Acts 2:4. Nowhere does the Word suggest it was a one time event. Peter actually said the opposite in Act 2:17. Eph 4:1-7 is speaking of unity in the church thru the working of the Holy Spirit in each believer. We, as the body of Christ, have unity because of our common beliefs. Maybe we will never share the same views on baptism, but I am willing to bet the beliefs we share are greater than any potential differences we might have. What’a’ya think? | ||||||

Friend(your letter wasn't signed), I absolutely beleive our common beliefs far out weigh or differences. And I certainly don't want our differences to divide us. But I do beleive that we need to study out our differences and come to a mutual agreement for the scripture says, "let them be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you have sent me" John 17:23. So for the sake of Christ and His Gospel, let us continue to study out these issues, "with gentleness and respect", so we can let the world know Christ HAS sent us! Kin |
