Bible Note: I know what the "Gospel of Christ" is. I said how many pastor's are preaching it in churches today because the gospel that was preached then, lead people to repent and be baptized in water. Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were three thousand souls add unto them. I don't think there is any argument when they heard the gospel they repented and were baptized because it was part of the process, or God (who is very systematic)wouldn't have one example after another from Matthew through Acts. You are using one scripture by itself to make a point, which is not uncommon. In 1:17 Cor. Paul was making a point and it started up in 1:11 there were contentions among them. They were saying I am of Paul and I am of Apollos and I am of Cephas and I of Christ. Paul asked if Christ was divided? Was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul? I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Galus; Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other (in that area). 17 For Christ sent me not to baptized, but to preach the gospel: not with widseom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. The point Paul was making is that Paul was not crucified for them but Christ was and they were not baptized in the name of Paul, but Christ. It wasn't important who was doing the baptizing. Paul was sent to preach the gospel and he probably had disciples there doing the baptizing. They didn't need to be divided among themselves. When Jesus in John 322-23 Jesus was preaching the gospel and his disciples were doing the baptizing. |
