Washing is symbolic for justification. You want to avoid the doctrine of justification because it refutes your holiness doctrine. It appears that you hate Paul and his epistles.

What kind of spirit do you have that keeps on as if it is right when it knows it is wrong?

Oh, c'mon Robert Pate. The Gospel is displayed in shadow in the OT. That's why Paul said that the Bereans were smart dudes to check him out. Where do you think the Bereans go to check Paul out? To the NT that didn't exist yet?
No one really understood what Jesus had accomplished in his life, death and resurrection until the day of Pentecost, Acts 2.

I agree but then that means yours are the wrong feet.
That is your opinion. You have nothing to back up your opinion.
"This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai" (Acts 7:38)
This may well be over your head.
The OT church resisted God's Spirit.
"You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resist the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you." (Acts 7:51)
People were added to the church. (Acts 2:47)
The Spirit's law is the law the Spirit wrote with his own finger.

I wonder then, why did Paul commended the Bereans and not the Thessalonians.

Good thinking here, Jamie. But then, it could be the church [Bride of Christ] as we understand it, began in John 20:22. Either way, I can receive it.
"Then he remembered the days of old, Moses and his people, saying: 'Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within them'" (Isaiah 63:11)
Moses was the original pastor of God's congregation to which people were added in the NT congregation.
The OT group was converted to the NT group.
"He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins." (Colossians 1:13)
The pronoun "us" refers to those redeemed by Jesus' blood with regard to the forgiveness of sins.

Robert Pate got it right that Calvinists are false, but he can't see his own flaws.

You are a Calvinist/Lutheran, and a nowadays tongue speaker/prophesier.
You go against what God says.

You go against what is plainly written.

Contention is not good. Are you agreeing or not?
The Spirit's law is all the law, old and new.
It is plainly written that your righteousness stinks.

That is what you say about God cleaning me.
You don't believe that you have been justified, sanctified and redeemed, 1 Corinthians 1:30.
If you did you would not be preoccupied with your holiness. We are called to REST in the Gospel. You are not resting, you are still trying to be good enough, Hebrews 4:10.
