11. The Baptism of Paul

Not sure how "good" this information is. As a matter if fact, it presents the view of a specific sect of Christians, not Christians in general.

Since Scripture is very clear that Christian baptism is to be in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Mt 28:19), we must conclude that when the complete invocation is not stated in the Acts of the Apostles, it is simply giving us a shortened version of the above.

Secondly, while it appears that water baptism "washes" away sins, the reality is that it is symbolic of the washing away of sins. We know from Scripture that it is only the blood of Christ that can wash away our sins (Rev 1:5).

Finally, Paul was indeed baptized by Ananias three days after he was saved (Acts 9:18). Why would this question even arise when Scripture is plain and clear?

What about the rest of the Apostles, were they all baptized? Jesus didn't baptize them, who baptized and when was Peter baptized?

Where do you see in Scripture a claim that they were never baptized?

I looking for a claim that says they were and by whom?

Evidently they were baptized by John the Baptist. Almost all of Israel went out to hear him (Mt. 3:5,6). Andrew and Peter were two of John's disciples (Jn 1:33-41), and they knew or were related to most of the others.

Maybe I should have looked it over a little better. I just know that the link had the specific scripture that said Paul was baptized. Whether it was water baptism or the baptism of the holy spirit or both I do not know.

Paul gives his testimony in Acts 22:

He is sent to Ananias, who instructs him:

"And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord." (v16)


Simple answer!

- - - - -

Note: that verse also shows that water baptism does not renmove sin, you have to "call on the name of The Lord" (pray to receive the Holy Spirit, by whom we are washed)

Try Acts 9.18.

NO !

Sha'ul was .

Acts 9 The Scriptures (ISR 1998)

17And Ḥananyah went away and went into the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Sha’ul, the Master יהושע, who appeared to you on the way as you came, has sent me, so that you might see again and be filled with the Set-apart Spirit.”

18And immediately there fell from his eyes, as it were scales, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was immersed.

Acts 13 The Scriptures (ISR 1998)

9Then Sha’ul, filled with the Set-apart Spirit, looked intently at him,

(KJV) 9Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
