Bible Question (short): Follow up to : Baptized in name of Jesus |
Question (full): Thank you, Jonp. 1) Why do you believe that SO much emphasis is placed on the outward expression of faith "baptism"? Though Jesus commanded, many denominations place the emphasis on the baptism instead of the understanding of the Word that leads to the inward baptism. 2) Also, this particular Pentecostal Church, directs not to Trinity (which they continued to stress that the 'word' Trinity is no where in the bible which I agree) but to the One-ness of God. Though they believe in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit it is said that they are one and not Three distinct entity of one...? 3) 1 Corinthians 1:17..'lest the cross of Christ be emptied of it's power' please explain. Thanks, again |
