Subject: Apostles Spirit-led? |
Bible Note: Dear Joe! Greetings in the name of Jesus! :-) Friend, you know that I hold you in high regard, so please do not be offended if I say that this is one of the weakest arguments I have ever heard you make. To relegate the Book of the Acts of the Apostles to 'unclear' status is unlike you! I heartily agree that the 'Oneness' folks are off-base concerning the Triune nature of God, but I am compelled to follow the (IMHO) clear example for baptism set forth by the apostles in the post-ascension early church. I can only pray that my Lord and Savior will be gracious if I am mistaken, and hope that this same grace applies to others if I am found faithful. Peace and joy in Christ Jesus, charis |
