    Why did Jesus have to die?

    He even queried His disciples: "Who do people SAY that I am?" And He muzzled demons from telling everyone Who He was... And He told people NOT to reveal Who had healed them... His ministry was one of progressively less and less concealment... Once, about to be hurled to His death, He simply...

    Have you explored the difference between the two Salvations? There is Salvation in the Old Testament... And... There is Salvation in the New Testament... How are they the same? How do they differ? Menno thinks there is no difference between them... Because for him, Baptism is BY the Holy...

    Why did Jesus have to die?

    I think Christ came at the precisely exact moment in human history for His (undercover) Mission... He slipped in avoiding detection and destruction which destroyed thousands of children trying to kill him... He returned in the guise of a younger brother of Joseph's family by his new bride...

    Baptism is God-Commanded for ALL the Nations through the Apostles... It is God Himself Baptizing... Paul himself rebuked the Corinthians... Thinking they were baptized into men... That Baptism was a human event... Receiving a human benefit... Your claim that there is no Grace in God-Commanded...

    The Nations were idol-worshipping pagans... Christ sent His Apostles for their conversion... And He said to His 11/12: πορευθεντες, which means: Pursue the journey upon which you have entered (as My disciples) Then He said: μαθητευσατε παντα τα εθνη , which means: Disciple all the Nations...

    Matthew 28:19 - KJV – Go ye therefore, and teach (disciple) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Disciple all the Nations Baptizing them... Are we reading the same passage?? Arsenios

    Did Christ Commission the 11/12 to Baptize all the Nations into Christ? Did they do so? What did it look like? Did Christ Commission anyone who believes in Him to Baptize disciples into Christ? I agree - The local Tom, Joe and Allison giving old Harv' a dunk is not Baptism into Christ... And...

    Does this understanding disciple, say, obedience and denial of self? And if yes, then how does it do so? You see, Christ commanded the Apostles to Go and Disciple all the nations... Discipling is done by persons, I should think... Handing someone a book will not disciple that person, will...
