NASB | 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ did not send me [as an apostle] to baptize, but [commissioned and empowered me] to preach the good news [of salvation]--not with clever and eloquent speech [as an orator], so that the cross of Christ would not be made ineffective [deprived of its saving power]. |
Subject: Why Didn't Paul and Jesus Baptize? |
Bible Note: Greetings Tim! Excellent observations!I took the liberty of copying the text of your original post and sent it to Grace and Truth who has authored the latest discussion. I've tried to remove myself from any further dialog as it appears that many of this persuasion are very determined to believe as they so desire. I can find no scriptural support for this notion of baptismal regeneration at all. Perhaps there are "itching ears" among us. Blessings in Christ, Mommapbs |
