  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Hi to all and in Rom 1:1 we have the following !!

Paul a slave of Christ Jesus , a called apostle having been separated for God's Gospel !

The Greek word SEPARATED / APHORIZO can be translated by the following English words , BOUNDARIES , SEPARATED and LIMITED !!

The word separated is in the Greek PERFECT TENSE , PASSIVE VOICE and a PARTICIPLE !!

This means that from the beginning of Paul's ministry in Acts 9:6 , Paul was LIMITED TO ONLY PREACH Gpd's Gospel !!

It also means that Paul could not WATER BAPTIZE and written in 1 Cor 1:14 and 15 !

Alo means that Paul was not to preach the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN as written in Matt 10:5-11 < etc , etc !

Set apart, singled out, selected, called... It is obvious what that means. Please don't cause yourself troubles. Proverbs 3:5-6 God bless

Would you then agree that the few times he did the water rite was for the same reason he circumcised Timothy?

Hi and in 1 Cor 1:17 , Paul was not sent to WATER BAPTIZE anyone , period !

Verse 15 says , Lest anyone should say that I HAD BAPTIZED FOR MY NAME !!

This is what Paul means by his NAME :

#1 , BY Baptizing in the name of the FATHER , and of the SON and of the HOLY SPIRIT , in Matt 28 :19 !!

#2 , Or BAPTIZING in the name of Jesus Christ in Acts 2:38 !!

#3 Or to WATER BAPTIZE in the NAME OF THE LORD JESUS , in Acts 19:5 !!

So how was Crispus and Gaius then BAPTIZED ??

Read Acts 18:2-7 Paul was BAPTIZING with HOLY SPIRIT !!

The Greek text does not read THE HOLY SPIRIT because the Greek ARTICILIE

All have to see that when Paul BAPTIZED them with the HOLY SPIRIT in verse 6 they spoken in TONGUES and were PROPHESYING , should remind all of what happened at Pentecost !!

Also notice that there are 2 BAPTISMS in verse 4 , the BAPTISM OF JOHN and the BAPTISM/BAPTISMA of the HOLY SPIRIT !!

The Greek word used , BAPTISMA , means one who BAPTIZES like in Eph 4:5 one LORD , ONE FAITH , ONE BAPTISMA as the Greek text says !!
