Hmm, Ananias was the vehicle the Holy Spirit chose to work thru to heal Paul’s blindness and baptize him, yet the Holy Spirit allowed Ananias to give Paul a false idea of when his sins were forgiven......and not only Paul but millions of Christians who have read or heard Acts for close to 2,000 years. Very interesting belief.
Or, just possibly, what Ananias preached to Paul was true, especially since it is consistent with the rest of the NT and was the faith the Church received from all the Apostles and has been believed for 2,000 years.
If baptism is not for regeneration, can you show me from the Scriptures what is baptism for?
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Just as we have been telling you...Baptism is an answer...A reaction...It is our response from a good conscience toward God...
