To: one Lord one faith one baptism; rzman21

After blessing the wine, he called it “this fruit of the vine”.

Paul talks of the bread as “bread”.

“A literal textual reading of scripture without taking the text’s historical, cultural, and textual background fails to understand its deeper meaning.”

So...explain the historical, cultural and textual background that turns the Baptism of the Holy Spirit - what Jesus does - into water baptism.

What is the context that turns Paul’s rebuke of Peter and his teaching into Peter having authority over Paul?

To: Mr Rogers

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?

1 Corinthians 10:16

the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is so called “water baptism”
read Ephesians, there is only ONE baptism.

how can anybody believe the Holy Spirit did not lead Christians into understanding Baptism for 16 centuries??

really???
