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: John 3:1-7 how can you say it's not true |
Bible Note: That’s a good one! Does that mean if I paint myself red and sit in the garage long enough that I will become a car? That’s the same as being believing in Christ and being baptized for salvation. Not matter what color you painted the car after it was a car, it didn’t make any difference just as long as it was a car in the first place. There are probable thousands of true believers in Christ that never made it to water baptism but they died having a new nature in Christ. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Maybe I will paint myself green tomorrow to see if it will make me envious! Have fun and have a great day in the Lord, CDBJ |
