Hi to all and Acts is a transition book and without it , it explains where GRACE began and see the DEMISE of Israel !!
But Cripus , the ruler of the Synagogue , believed ( in ) the LORD with his whole house , and many of the Corinthians hearing , were Believing and were being BAPTIZED !!
#1 By the time Acts chapter 18 was written , Paul was already going on his third missionary journey in Acts 18:23 and Acts 21 17 !!
#2 , And it was not only Caripus , but also Gaius that were BAPTIZED !!
#3 , And here in Acts 18:8 , what kind of BAPTIZO is taking place in Acts 18:8 ?
#4 , I believe it was NOT water at all !!
#5 We see that they believed in the Lord , NOT at PENTECOST but believed some 13-15 years later !!
#6 , So this BAPTIZO / BAPTIZING was like what Paul did in Acts 19:6 and Paul laying his hands on them , the Holy Spirit came upon them and they were speaking IN GOLLOSIA /LANGUAGES and prophesying !!
37 , These Jews were not saved by GRACE , because The Greek BELIEVED is in the IMPERFECT TENSE and that means that this KIND of BAPTIZO / baptism STOPPED at the end of Acts 28:28 !!
#8 The next Greek word is WERE BAPTIZED is also in the Greek IMPERFECT TENSE that was in operation and than also STOPPED in Acts 28:28 !!
Heb 6:2 all people not under the LAW are to FORSAKE the teaching or Doctrines of the ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES of Christ and the DOCTRINES of BAPTISMS which where MANY in the Plural !!
Only a Dispensationalist can understand what I have written as we understand Paul and the Revelation of the MYSTERY , IN Rom 16:25 and 26 and Col 1:25 and 26 !!
