In any case you prove the Church is right.
Keep flingin' it on the wall.
Some of it has GOT to stick!
“To invoke one of Vlad’s Rules.....the text does not say that Peter and the Apostles baptized them.”
You think the Jews baptized them? Gee, was it the Roman soldiers? Seriously, you embarrass yourself. Acts 2:41 makes it clear the people did not baptize themselves. Peter may have given orders for the 3,000 to be baptized, but it was Peter himself who said “be baptized” in verse 38. Peter and the Apostles, therefore, baptized them. I realize you might be desperate for some sort hollow victory since you repeatedly fail here but come on, what you’re saying is laughable.
I didn’t have to be corrected on anything since there was no error. Whether Peter did the baptizing himself or gave orders he still called for it and it was done under his authority. Do you realize you’re making a pro-papal argument? If you’re saying Peter didn’t do any baptizing but only gave orders for it (and that would be bolstered by Acts 10:48), then that means Peter was acting just like Jesus in the same situation. Jesus ordered the Apostles to baptize. He apparently didn’t do it himself.
In any case you prove the Church is right. Ah, the glories of anti-Catholic failure.
Vlad's Rule #5...omit what others have posted or twist it in an attempt to show them wrong.
But I digress. I do believe Peter and the disciples did baptized them and maybe with some help from the other believers. Who else was there to baptize them? 124 posted on 11/28/2017, 9:53:57 PM by ealgeone [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 121 | View Replies | Report Abuse]

In your post of 107 you said, "And yet he [Peter] then baptized them." Then in 121 you said, "On Pentecost Peter and the Apostles baptized 3,000 people. In one day. Have you forgotten that?"
Vlad's Rules of Internet Debate #6. He will ignore his errors when pointed out to him and dismiss them...even when confronted with them.
And also Vlad's Rules of Internet Debate #3....it means what he wants it to mean.

You mean like James at the Council?
19“Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles, 20but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from fornication and from what is strangled and from blood. 21“For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.” Acts 15:19-21 NASB
Or Paul?
I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 1 Cor 1:14 NASB
