APOSTOLIC (ACTS 2

The Topic Of Christian Baptism Has Been The Subject Of Debate Forcenturies And One That In All Probability Will Continue. There Areindividuals That Hold That Matthew 28:19 Are The Words Of Jesus Andtherefore Require Baptism In That Particular Form Thereby Adheringto A Literal Reading Of The Text. Yet When This Is Contrasted With Thepractice Outlined In Acts Of The Apostles A Different View Emergesin Light Of Acts 2:38 And Number Of Other Passages In The Bookof Acts. The Diffi Culty Lies In How Matthew 28:19 Is To Be Treatedand Interpreted. This Then Raises Some Fundamental And Importantquestions Such As Is The Problem That Matthew 28:19 Is Wronglyseen And Viewed As A Reference To A Baptismal Formula? Or Is It Thatit Is Incorrectly Understood As A Trinitarian Formula?While Accepting Matthew 28:19 As A Genuineand Authentic Passage Is It Really Instructingindividuals To Literally Or Physically Baptizepeople In Water Or Is It Explaining Or Expandingrights That An Individual Either Acquires Or Isable To Access Or Is It A Reference To A Communityas A Whole That Acquires Such A Right Or Someother Theological Phenomenon. Perhaps It Isnot A Reference To Baptize People At All In WaterSince The Right Was Already Given To Baptizepeople In Water In John 4:1 Under Jesusâ Authority Approval Andcommand. Therefore This Book And Polemical Study Will Addressa Variety Of Matters That Relate To Matthew 28:19 And Acts 2:38. Inaddition To This There Will Be Numerous References To Baptismsin The Name Of Jesus From The Day Of Pentecost To The Presentera. True Baptism Must Be Premised Upon The Notion That It Wastaught By Christ Matthew 28:19 And Administered By The ApostlesActs 2:38.
