Did Paul go to the lost and say "Repent and be baptized for the remission of sins."? No. Not once. He stated in effect, "I have wonderful news for you. Your sins have all been paid for. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." Did the 12 go to the lost and say what Paul said? No. They said "Repent and be baptized for the remission of sins."
God's righteousness was not revealed in water baptism. It was revealed in the gospel of the grace of God. It is ONE BAPTISM that brings us into Christ. The baptism BY the Holy Spirit into Christ. It is NOT water baptism.
You seem to think I believe in two baptisms. Nothing could be further from the truth.
If you read Acts prayerfully, you would see what was unfolding between Matthew,Mark,Luke and John, and the book of Romans. You would even understand why Paul was baptized with water. And maybe why Paul circumcised Timothy. Perhaps you would understand why Peter and the 11 remained in Jerusalem while Paul took his message to the world.
Can it be any clearer you ask? sure, if you understand 2 Timothy 2:15.
You still haven't answered my question: What are divers washings?
divers washings, if i recall correctly, were ceremonial OT washings.
did Paul go to the lost and say be baptized for the remission of sins? YES!! YES!
Paul did not teach a different gospel than Peter, the Holy Spirit was the source for both!
Do you actually believe the Bible contains everything Paul said? probably it contains less than 1/1,000.
so your contention is Peter in Acts 2 was wrong and didn’t understand the Gospel? whew, that is a new one, i don’t even think that comes from the 16th century!
please explain to me why you think Paul was baptized with water in Acts 22:16?
so you don’t believe in two baptisms, and you say the one baptism of Ephesians 4 is Holy Spirit baptism, so logic would dictate you don’t believe in or practice water baptism, do i have that correct?
