Bible Question (short): Apostles mistaken? |
Question (full): Dear Ric, Are the examples of baptism recorded for us in the book of the Acts of the Apostles then invalid or mistaken? If everyone agrees on the 'formula' and the 'into the Trinity' theory, then why does so much controversy exist in almost every other area of the 'method' of baptism, including whether to baptize at all or not? I must tell you that it is uncomfortable to be 'swimming against the tide,' but I still find these arguments to be traditional, emotional and shallow. Without the single scripture, Matt 28:19, anyone doing a word study on baptism would come to the conclusion (and conviction) that it is proper to baptize in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please, convince me with the Bible. In Christ Jesus. |
