He did baptize, but gave up on his own to weave theories subsequently since he was not present when Lord gave the Great Commission to His chosen apostles.

Unsubstantiated assertion. Need some evidence.

No, I am not affirming them. They have helped me to understand somewhat the thinking of the apostles and their thrust in their ministry.

That is the same as embracing Gnostic texts.

Yes, but what if he assumed many things that were not given? We need to be careful about them.

Ok you confirmed Paul was an apostle:


ἀπόστολος apóstolos, ap-os'-tol-os; from G649; a delegate; specially, an ambassador of the Gospel; officially a commissioner of Christ ("apostle") (with miraculous powers):—apostle, messenger, he that is sent.

It is well known that the portion underlined with red letters were later insertions by Paul's cronies.
Cronies....are we talking about the "underworld" here.....maybe even the mafia....

Wicked generation seeks signs and wonders. Satan can do greater works. Only those who do the will of the Father will be saved.

Are you implying the 12 and Paul performed the works of Satan?

I would be very careful.

righttruth,

1. No sermon can surpass the Sermon on the Mount. No pastor dares to preach that because they would become hypocrites.


That's wrong. How many Churches teach the Lords prayer? If they dont teach it its because they are not following it.

Preachers want to store wealth on earth instead of heaven, that's why some of them say that the sermon cant be followed. That scripture agrees with the example of the Church in acts 4 however, and so it is possible to obey the Lords sermon on the mount, Jesus teaches many good things in the sermon on the mount

Clearly paul not only followed the sermon on the mount, but he teaches it as well. Any Church who rejects the sermon on the mount is blind. They are full of darkness because they cannot see.

Look, see where Paul follows and teaches this part of the Lrds sermon on the mount.

Mathew 6:19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!


1 Timothy 6:6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain[c] we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content.


1 Corinthians 9:11 If we have sown spiritual things for you, is it a great thing if we reap your material things? 12 If others are partakers of this right over you, are we not even more?

Nevertheless we have not used this right, but endure all things lest we hinder the gospel of Christ. 13 Do you not know that those who minister the holy things eat of the things of the temple, and those who serve at the altar partake of the offerings of the altar? 14 Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.

Mathew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also

Psalm 119:2 Blessed are those who keep His testimonies,
Who seek Him with the whole heart!

Psalms 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet
And a light to my path.

Psalms 119:72 The law of Your mouth is better to me
Than thousands of coins of gold and silver.

Psalms 119:18Open my eyes, that I may see
Wondrous things from Your law.



Matthew 13:17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower:...

It's called knowing the message in the original language which is Greek.

I will however graciously accept your capitulation on this matter as you agreed to the definition.

What kind of Church do you go to?

I had a strong Baptism fellowship in the beginning, followed by branch of Salvation Army, then Brethren --stopped attending any church for a while-- now a non-denominational church. I have attended Pentecostal based churches and Catholic's. I don't mind attending any church for a while to know the truth.
