Subject: Whom baptizes with the Holy Ghost |
Bible Note: Dear Asuba, There are several serious problems with your post: Making normative for contemporary Christians an act exclusive to Christ, deriving doctrine from narrative, and equivocating relative to the Scriptural use of the word "power" . Furthermore, your application and allegorization of Christ's teaching in Mark 11:23-25, in the light of the clear teaching of other passages, is a bit dubious. These problems reduce the overall persuasiveness of your argument. Indeed, it should raise significant concerns if this interpretive technique is the sole foundation of your denominational perspective. I'm afraid the breadth of these issues makes it cumbersome to deal with them all in a single thread. If you're interested in further discussion of the sound interpretation of Scripture (hermeneutics) -- and if we can avoid a purely denominational focus, per the terms of use -- please separate your thoughts into individual threads. In Him, Doc |
