Subject: Isn't Baptism neccessary for salvation?? |
Bible Note: In reference to Paul’s statement in 1 Cor. 1, you quote, "He baptized some, and would have baptized more, but that his and the apostles' peculiar work was to preach the Gospel..." So you really DO agree, his peculiar work was to preach the Gospel, IS why Paul didn’t baptize more. Exactly. That is a rephrase of what others and I have said. IF Paul’s preaching the gospel included baptism as a take it all or leave it all package, Paul would been compelled to baptize everyone who believed his preaching ... yet Paul admitted he didn't baptize very many. But, then you change the side of your mouth and claim he didn't baptize more people because, “He certainly didn’t want to be the focal point of their faith.” Interesting theology, but we had better stick with what God says God said, rather than what men say God said. If I may quote you once again, “So you see, your point is pointless”. That seems to fit here. Perhaps you should go back to THE book instead of a book. :) Taleb |
