Well, in spite of the propaganda your organization may have tried to brainwash you with, you have never been baptized by an apostle, either. If you believe the baton was handed off by men like Vigilius, or Honorius, or John XXII, or Formosus, or Sergius III, or Gregory IX, or...again, my fingers are tired, then you are to be pitied. At least we do not need the props of a cult.

Yet I speak of the great apostolic commission to teach all the Gentiles and baptize them with water in the name of the Father, Son, and a Holy Spirit.

Yet you speak of an error that you have manufactured...nowhere does Jesus say "water". And, I am curious which apostle baptized you. And, you must let us know your secret for staying alive for 2000 years.

That was written in invisible ink here:

Acts 15
1 Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers: “Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, baptized according to the LAWS of ROME you cannot be saved.”

That was written in invisible ink here; too!

Acts 15:22-29

 22 Then the apostles and elders, with the whole church, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, men who were leaders among the believers. 23 With them they sent the following letter:

   The apostles and elders, your brothers,

   To the Gentile believers in Antioch, Syria and Cilicia:

   Greetings.

 24 We have heard that some went out from us without our authorization and disturbed you, troubling your minds by what they said. 25 So we all agreed to choose some men and send them to you with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul— 26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 27 Therefore we are sending Judas and Silas to confirm by word of mouth what we are writing. 28 It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements: 29 You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things.

   Farewell.
