Well, that's not scriptural and it is a man-made tradition of Jehovah's Witnesses. I can't find a need for a pre-baptism test in the bible. Hey Cornelius, come over here. I have a pre-baptism test for you. Go get um, Peter. Mark on a bell curve. LOL
Actually, the bishops got together and quizzed each other as to what their particular churches believed and what scriptures they used. The majority won. Tradition came before scripture. Tradition assembled the bible you use.
The eleven were confirmed as teachers with authority by Jesus in that scenario prior to Jesus returning to the father. They had been sufficiently trained at that point to preach ONLY Jesus' interpretation of scripture and to baptize all nations into the body of Christ.
Let me help you in your studies. The two most basic articles of orthodox Christian faith are: Jesus is God and is part of the Trinity.
Muslims believe Jesus was a perfect sinless man and was not God.
Muslims do not believe in the Trinity.
You hold the same beliefs.
I've just proved you are...
The billions in the Catholic Church can go every day to mass to worship as well as pray daily
That's a discriminatory God you have there. Are not all of his children equal in his eyes. Emblems are not sacred. They're not the real thing.
I'm here to present the truth. You're here 'chest banging' how scriptural your future organization is and I've posted info that it's not scriptural. I'm sorry that you don't like the truth but I can't help that.
Why don't you tell us why you are not baptized into the body of Christ but into an...
What is so unscriptural about what the billions believe?
Let me help you. And it's no where near the unscriptural things you do, such as denying the all of the congregation the 'emblems.' Jesus didn't pass anyone by at the Last Supper.
Jews/Jesus=be presented as a member of the community. The...
Best that you run away from an organization that practices unscriptural baptism as fast as you can. I can just imagine what other unscriptural teachings they plan for you to believe and act upon in the future. However, if you plan to proceed, do let us know how you do on the test. Do you have to...
There's no requirement for baptism in Mosaic Law. Identifying himself with sinners? A perfect man? Where are you going with this? The hole gets bigger and bigger.
So since John's baptism was a baptism of repentence as clearly stated in scripture, Jesus was then implying that he was a sinner in being baptized by John? Or is there a Jewish 'twist' to this that the log in your eye is preventing you from seeing? John could be 'baptized' by anyone to repent of...
Then why did he wait until he was 30? Why does the gospel writer mention that age?
Why didn't Jesus blast onto the preaching scene when he was 12 and a recognized scripture genius?
