Did not Jesus commanded His disciples to “make disciples of all the nations” ? That is the GREAT COMMISSION He gave before He Ascended back to Heaven?
While Luke’s reference to the preaching and calling for repentance “begining in Jerusalem”, in Mathew, it is also a call to form disciples via both teaching and baptizing in all the nations, for such, is called “the great commission.”
**While Luke’s reference to the preaching and calling for repentance “begining in Jerusalem”,**
Why did you leave out “remission of sins” from the preaching, in Luke 24:47? The initial preaching by the apostles began in Acts 2, where Peter, in verse 38, commanded repentance and baptism in the name of JESUS Christ for the remission of sins.
**in Mathew, it is also a call to form disciples via both teaching and baptizing in all the nations**
So, in your view, the followers of Peter’s preaching repentance and remission of sins, are not disciples, because Luke 24:47 doesn’t say what they will be? Isn’t a convert a follower, or a disciple?
Mark 16:15-18 is more of the Lord’s commissions for converting souls. There is no separation. All of God’s commissions to reach the lost are great.
