Got Questions --- Got Wrong
1) The “one baptism” of
Ephesians 4.5
is not a water baptism, but a spiritual one.
2) The church did not begin with John the Baptist
but with the Spirit’s baptism on the Day of Pentecost ---WRONG
- the Church was empowered
- 8 But ye shall receive power,
- after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you:
- and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem,
- and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,
- and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
- This is talking to the Church
- not individuals
- Those baptized believers already had the Holy Spirit
- on the Day of Pentecost
- The Church was started
- when Jesus was baptized
- He was a member and head of His Church
Acts 11.15-16
3) The baptism of John is not sufficient for the New Testament church
- Baptism is by the authority
- of a New Testament church
- A man does not have authority to baptize
- Only baptized believers are members of the Church
Acts 18.24-28
Acts 19.1-7
4) The church is not just a local body
- churches are local visible bodies
but a worldwide entity comprised of all believers, WRONG
with Christ as their Head
Ephesians 1.21-22
5) Scripture lists three categories of people:
unsaved Jews, unsaved Gentiles, and the church
- It does not say unsaved
- There are saved Jews
- Paul was a Jew
- There are saved Gentiles
- I am a Gentile
1 Corinthians 10.32
The “family of God,” therefore, is not separate from the church {of God} WRONG
The “Baptist Bride” churches,
with their emphasis on the ordinance of baptism,
are surely missing the point of
1 Corinthians 1.10-17
There, Paul rebukes the church for the schisms
arising over who had baptized whom.
- A man does not have authority to baptize
- Baptism is by the authority
- of a New Testament church
Paul goes so far as to say, “Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel.”
- Water baptism by the authority of a New Testament church
- makes a man a member of the Bride of Christ
