| Unto What Then, Were You Baptized? (ACTS 19:3) | |
Acts 2:38
Repent, and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Is there anything too dificult about this scripture or is it just too hard to say you may have been baptized wrong? Either way, don't be caught out in the cold, because the same bible says, "if the blind lead the blind, they will all fall into the ditch."
This is the first message preached on the Day of Pentecost after the Holy Ghost came. There was only one message about baptism preached and it was carried out by the (Apostles). How did so many preachers get it wrong? How did so many seminaries get it wrong?
The answer is simple, we have all been misguided in life and we have all be told things that just were not true. For example: It was not that long ago that churches outside the (Holiness & Apostolic) faiths didn't use drums, praise team dancers, etc. Some people think that this is something new but the truth is; we have had these ministries for hundreds and even thousands of years.
It is this simple: take your bible and find where people were baptized and see for yourself what was said and then do it. It is just that simple. Some churches for years and years had their members to pay (DUES) and when they read their bibles and found that the way of finance for the church and it's ministries was by way of (TITHES & OFFERINGS) they changed.
So my brother and my sister; it is very simple, read it for yourself and do it. "He that beleiveth on me as the (scriptures) hath said, not what the preacher, the church, the union, the association or any one else. Only beleive what the scriptures have said.
Acts 8:12
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
The kingdom of God requires all of us both men and women to be born of the (water) and only in the name of the one who died, the one who rose again, the one who is coming back; looking for a church called by his name, and his name is the Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 8:14, 15, 16
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Acts 19 Chapter
And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples,
He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
When they heard this, they were (they were, they were, they were........baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus).
And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
And all the men were about twelve.
| In the NAME of JESUS CHRIST Neither is there SALVATION in any other |

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved.
|
Colossians 3:17
And whatsoever ye do in (word or deed), do (all) in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

There is no other baptism mentioned in the New Testament Scriptures after the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The apostles did not preach any other baptism and neither did they perform another baptism. Now that you know, what are you going to do? Call (252) 492-2412 the church and ask for Bishop, Dr. Ralphel Holloman, Sr., SC-C to come to your church and teach this message so you can enter into the kingdom of God according to the word of God. I would be delighted to come to your place of worship to enlighten you and your congregation of the {Truth of the Gospel}. There is nothing embarrasing about not knowing, but there will be no excuse for not knowing the truth and unwilling to learn. Take your bible and read the scriptures above and you will see that there is (one baptism) according to Ephesians 4:5. I will travel at my own expense to your place of worship to share this truth with you. This has been on the web for more than 10 years and you still haven't called. Does that mean you are not willing to get it (BIBLE-WAY), and would rather rely on your beleif, well; let me asure you that your beleif system will not mean much on the day of judgement.
Ephesian 4:5
There is One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism.
