In what edition of the KJV are the words in red found?
The New Testament and only when Jesus spoke.
I’m not quite sure of your point Campion, but I think we’re in the same boat. Bibletruth: I think the following verses from Acts pretty well debunk your theory, demonstrating that baptism and receiving the Holy Ghost are two different things.
Philip was preaching the Gospel in Samaria and obviously had the authority to baptize. He did not have the authority to give the Holy Ghost. Hence Philip told those whom he had baptized to go see Peter and John, who were authorized to give the converts the Holy Ghost.
Acts 8:12-20
12. But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13. Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14. Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15. Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16. (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17. Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18. And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19. Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
This is a clear reference to Jesus Christ, before His in the flesh ministry, that He was always before God the Father together with His Spirit.
So then, what are the so called sayings of Jesus? If every word proceeds from the Word of God (Jesus) then every Scripture is the Words of Jesus Christ. Some before His earthly ministry, some during His in the flesh ministry, and all those Words from Acts through Revelation.
In my Bible, I would logically color "red" ALL words from Genesis to Revelation as the Word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Actually, I looked at the post again, and I understand your point perfectly. I agree.
