let’s see, you change the word stewardship to dispensation, very slick! then you talk about the dispensation of the kingdom, don’t you know the King Jesus is reigning over his Kingdom, the CHurch, right now? no, of course you don’t. then you mistake baptism for a “work” a work is something you do, being baptized is something done TO you. it is not a work. again, you provide no Scripture where Jesus’s command of Matthew 28 is null and void. Jesus said to make disciples of all nations and to BAPTIZE them, not me. St Paul also was totally unaware of your unique teaching, because in 1 Corinthians 1:14 he names two people he baptized and allows there may have been more! What was Paul baptizing for in this so-called dispensation of grace? St Peter didn’t get the message either because he says in 1 Peter 3:21 “baptism..now saves you...” Too bad you weren’t there to tell him not to baptize anyone.
finally, let me point out what Jesus had to say in Matthew 24:14 “and this gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world,as a testimony to all nations and then the end will come” I guess Jesus wasn’t aware the kingdom dispensation would end before the end of the world!
no my friend, the words of Jesus apply today just as they did 2,000 years ago. please provide Scripture where Matthew 28 is made null and void.

The first part of the excerpt was not mind reading because it was framed as a question.

But the second part, answering the question, is mind reading and therefore "making it personal."

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

Your first problem with your Bible is your Bible, If you had a KJV, you would read dispensation. Do NOT accuse me of changing God's word. I have a KJV and that's what I use. Strike one on this post. For an outright lie about me changing words.

You do not know enough of your Bible to know that the Kingdom is in remission now, Israel has been temporarily blinded and God is dealing with another group of people, apart from Israel. Strike two on this post, for not having enough Biblical sense to follow it.

And IF you could read along, you would discover that Paul was proud that he had baptized so few. THe dispensations were changing from law to grace and what the law demanded, grace provided. Strike three on this post, for not taking the time to read Rom. through Phil. to at least TRY to get it.

I am going to tell you one last time on this post, do not EVER accuse me of lying, or changing God's word. I take accusations like those seriously.
