In 1 Cor 1:14 it reads , I give thanks that I BAPTIZED none of you , EXCEPT CRISPUS and GAIUS .

But the Greek word WATER // HYDOR is not in the GREEK TEXT !!

What say you , if it is NOT water , how did Paul BAPTIZE // BAPTISO , them ??

And is BAPTISM FOR TODAY ??

WHAT SAY YOU ??

Yes, he did.
Water is tacitly understood, as man can't baptize with anything else and continue the church's tradition.

And in 1 Cor 1:14 I give thanks to G0D that I BAPTIZED ( PLEASE NOTICE the Greek word for WAYER // HUDOR is

not sed IN Greek text ) none of you except Crispus and Gaius

Then in verse 15 , LEST // is a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICILE NEGATIVE , That I could NOT BAPTISE , LEST anyone should

that I had BAPTIZED FOR MY NAME .

And in verse 17 , FOR CHRIST , did , NOT // is a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICLE NEGATIVE , which means did NOTTTTTTT

send me to BAPTIZE , but to PREACH the GOSPEL , with wisdom , of word in order that the CROSS of CHRIST should

NOT // is also a DISUNCATIVE PARTICILE NEGATIVE , NOTTTTTTTTT , BE made EMPTY .

And I do have more verses , and will for your reply

And WATER BAPTISM is just ONE of most DIVEDER in the bible !!

So we have documented cases of Paul baptizing others.
As the only means of one man's baptism of another is water, it is not necessary to keep repeating the word "water" every time baptism is mentioned.
Then in verse 15 , LEST // is a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICILE NEGATIVE , That I could NOT BAPTISE , LEST anyone should

that I had BAPTIZED FOR MY NAME .
Your misquote of the English is noted.
Was that accidental, or was it on purpose to make some unbiblical point ?
Paul was glad he had not baptized more men, because he feared man would accuse him of using his own name instead of the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of past sins.
And in verse 17 , FOR CHRIST , did , NOT // is a DISJUNCATIVE PARTICLE NEGATIVE , which means did NOTTTTTTT
send me to BAPTIZE , biut to PREACH the GOSPEL , with wisdom , of word in order that the CROSS of CHRIST should
NOT // is also a DISUNCATIVE PARTICILE NEGATIVE , NOTTTTTTTTT , BE made EMPTY .
Paul's ministry was not focused on steps 2, 3, or 4, as step number one, (the death and resurrection of Christ), was necessary before further steps needed to be mentioned.
And I do have more verses , and will for ylur reply

I agree that baptism has turned into one of the devil's most divisive tools.
As Peter says it is the means of the remission of past sins, (Acts 2:38), to neglect it would be a grave error.

I have VERY bad fingers EYES and i agree that many , are depending on WATER BAPTISM and BEING BORN AGAIN

which is really speaking to Israel .

Think abouit this , we should all know that Israel will back in the LAND of ISRAEL , where Christ will rule as

high PRIEST and that DAVID will also rule'

And we know that the BODY OF CHRIST , will GOVERN the UNIVERSE and GOVERN , ANGEL

Where would you rather be ?

AND Christ has SAID , that EYES and EARS have not SEEN what Christ has PREPATED for those that LOVE HIM

so where would you rather BE ??

If that were true, then the Ethiopian eunuch, Cornelius and his household, the Philippian jailer, the twelve at Ephesus, and the many at Corinth were water baptized unnecessarily.
I can't imagine the apostles letting that occur.
But I know that whether Jew of Gentile, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ remits past sins: without which, nobody will see heaven.

Heaven, or on the new earth.
Either one will be good, as long as I have access to Jesus and our Father.

In most of Romans 7, Paul is narrating his pre-conversion laments.
His narrative is of a time when he still walked in the flesh, and was trying unsuccessfully to please God with Law keeping.
But that is a new thread...

Saul/Paul was converted in Acts 9, but it won't be until after his judgement that we will be able to say with certainty that he is saved.
Most of his Romans 7 writings, were a reflection on his past.

AND I argee that Saul / Paul was saved in Acts 9:5 !!

And in 1 Cor 12:3 and no ONE is ABLE to say LORD JESUS , EXCEPT by HOLY SPIRIT .

So what did SAUL / PAUL call jesus in Acts 9:5 , LORD and that word means , SIR or MASTER ,

And in 1 Tim 1:15 Saul / Paul , to saved SINNERS of whom I AM FIRST // PROPOS .

Then in 1 Tim 1:16 Paul is the PATTERN of the ONES coming to to believe on HIM , UNTO everlasting LIFE .

You did not KNOW that you are a DISPENSATIONALST , and did NOT KNOW IT !!

And get on BLUE LETTER BIBLE and IMITATE , Paul !

I didn't say he was saved.
I said he was converted.
He still had plenty of life to go before his death, and still more time until the day of judgement.
His salvation will only be determined then.
And in 1 Cor 12:3 and no ONE is ABLE to say LORD JESUS , EXCEPT by HOLY SPIRIT .

Yes, he did call Jesus "Lord".
But who knows what he was calling him, twenty years later.
Hopefully, he never faltered or fell away until his end.
And in 1 Tim 1:15 Saul / Paul , to saved SINNERS of whom I AM FIRST // PROPOS .
He was the worst, indeed, as he at one time persecuted the church.
But he didn't keep persecuting us after his conversion...that we know of.
Then in 1 Tim 1:16 Paul is the PATTERN of the ONES coming to to believe on HIM , UNTO everlasting LIFE .
Yes, a pattern of faithfulness and righteous endurance.
You did not KNOW that you are a DISPENSATIONALST , and did NOT KNOW IT !!
I am not a "dispensationalist", by any definition I am aware of.
And get on BLUE LETTER BIBLE and IMITATE , Paul !

And where do see in 1 Tim 1:15 that he was ( the worst ) in the Greek text ??

and I am going to check it right now !

And you believe , His salvation will only be determined THEN , when does that HAPPENED , with a VERSE ??

I do know that Peter was CONVERTED

And I just checked the GREEK TEXT , it reads , I // EIM , is in the GREEK TEXT is in the PRESENT TENSE

and in the INDICATIVE MOOD and means , that you better BELIEVE IT , in the SINGULAR

FIRST // PROPOS , in the NOMINATIVE CASE , in the SIGNULAR .

And I am rght ON , G 4413 and color me RED , WHITE and BLUE

So how was PAUL , then saved , in Rom 10 : 9 and 10 ?

Like to know your HOUGHTS ??

As Paul is now long gone, the time he was talking about is far in the past.
He was, at that time, the worst sinner Jesus came to save.
And you believe , His salvation will only be determined THEN , when does that HAPPENED , with a VERSE ??
Jesus said..."Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation." (John 5:28-29)
I do know that Peter was CONVERTED
Great.
I pray he remained converted until his death.
And I just checked the GREEK TEXT , it reads , I // EIM , is in the GREEK TEXT is in the PRESENT TENSE
and in the INDICATIVE MOOD and means , that you better BELIEVE IT , in the SINGULAR
FIRST // PROPOS , in the NOMINATIVE CASE , in the SIGNULAR .
I think your time spent on the Greek is a waste.

Paul attested to his belief, by calling in the name of the Lord, at his baptism in the name of the Lord for the remission of his past sins. (Acts 22:16)
If his repentance from sin remained true for the rest of his life, he will be granted eternal life.

It is written..."This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief."

"Chief" and "worst" are synonymous in the context of the egregiousness of Paul's preconversion standing with God.
He was at one time the worst of those Jesus came to save.

Are you really saying that Paul was "saved" before the other apostles and disciples?
Word meanings are often based on their context.
As Paul was not the "first saved", the word "chief" (in the KJV of the bible) must mean something besides "first".
