Hi to all and BAPTISM will always be an ISSUE to those who will never believe what the Holy Spirit has written !!

And NICK has quoted the right verse that the Acts 2 and followers will never be able to explain BUT lets see that I can !!

1 Cor 1:17 reads , For Christ did not SEND me to BAPTIZE but to preach the Gospel , not with wisdomof words in order that the cross of Christ should NOT be made EMPTY >

#1, Paul was given a MANDATE in Acts 9:15 to bear Jesus name before GENTILES , and KINGS and sons of Israel !!

#2 The first verb is SEND /APOSTELLO which is in the AORIST TENSE and what is the Past tense and this looks back to Paul salvation in Acts 9:6 !!

#3 The second verb is TO BAPTIZE which is in the Greek PRESENT Tense and speaks TO Paul's ministry in the Dispensation of thre Grace of God as Paul was SAVED bt Grace as written in Gal 1:15 !!

#4 Thde third verb is also in the Greek PRESENT TENSE to preach the Gospel as recorded in Acts 9:15 !!
The PRESENT TENSE means A CONTINUOUS ACTION as to when Paul was given his mandate !!

#5 , The last verb is MADE OF NONE EFFECT is in the AORIST TENSE and we see that Paul could NEVER be a Kingdom preacher because Gal 2:18 as Paul TORN DOWN , that was what the 12 Apostles were preaching , Paul proves himself a Transgressor !!

This also means that Paul preached a DIFFERENT message than the 12 Apostles !!

This then means no preaching LAW of MOSES an BAPTISIM and REPENTANCE !!
