Unto What Then, Were You Baptized? (ACTS 19:3)
Acts 2:38
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Is there anything too difficult about this scripture or is it just too hard to say you may have been baptized wrong? Either way, don't be caught out in the cold, because the same bible says, "if the blind lead the blind, they will all fall into the ditch."
This is the first message preached on the Day of Pentecost after the Holy Ghost came. There was only one message about baptism preached and it was carried out by the (Apostles). How did so many preachers get it wrong? How did so many seminaries get it wrong?
The answer is simple, we have all been misguided in life and we have all be told things that just were not true. For example: It was not that long ago that churches outside the (Holiness & Apostolic) faiths didn't use drums, praise team dancers, etc. Some people think that this is something new but the truth is; we have had these ministries for hundreds and even thousands of years.
It is this simple: take your bible and find where people were baptized and see for yourself what was said and then do it. It is just that simple. Some churches for years and years had their members to pay (DUES) and when they read their bibles and found that the way of finance for the church and its ministries was by way of (TITHES & OFFERINGS) and they changed.
So my brother and my sister; it is very simple, read it for yourself and do it. "He that believeth on me as the (scriptures) hath said, not what the preacher, the church, the union, the association or anyone else. Only believe what the scriptures have said.
When we want to know about being blessed of the Lord in our paying of tithes, we go to the word of God. When we want to know about how much we are to pay in tithes we go to the word of God. When you want to know how to be BAPTIZED, we still go to the word of God, and it is in these scriptures where we find the only baptism performed by the apostles after the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The apostles did not preach any other baptism and neither did they perform another baptism. Now that you know, what are you going to do? Call (252) 492-2412 the church and ask about the {Truth of the Gospel}. There is nothing embarrassing about not knowing, but there will be no excuse for not knowing the truth and unwilling to learn. Take your bible and read the scriptures above and you will see that there is (one baptism) according to Ephesians 4:5.
I will travel at my own expense to your place of worship to share this truth with you. This has been on the web for more than 17 years and you still haven't called. Does that mean you are not willing to get it (BIBLE-WAY), and would rather rely on your belief, well; let me assure you that your belief system will not mean much on the day of judgment. I love you and the same bible that you read states in Acts 2:42-44 states: And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that beleived were together, and had all things common". Do this for me, take a look at all of the scriptures in the New Testament after the resurrection of Jesus Christ where someone was baptized and write down what was said. Call me!
Ephesian 4:5
There is One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism.
