Is the command to be baptized from God or man
Jesus Christ gave the command and He is fully God, therefore the command came from God.
the Campbellite’s have a problem since they claim the Church needed to be “restored”, this means Campbell himself had to have been baptized by a non-Christian, which goes against the NT that he claimed to be following.
the COC can’t explain nor defend this.
the other problem Campbell had is the Church could not go apostate according to the Scriptures.
Ephesians 3:21
to him be glory in the church and in Jesus Christ TO ALL GENERATIONS, for ever and ever. Amen.
“all generations” covers all generations in EVERY century.
the so called COC appeared for the first time on the earth in the 19th century, along with the Mormons and Jehovah Witnesses.
the real Universal Church of Christ has been on earth in every generation for close to 2,000 years now.
