You have steadfastly refused to answer any of my simple questions.
Stop trying to evade.
WHY did Paul REQUIRE the 12 BELIEVERS to be re-baptized in Acts 19?
***WHY did Paul REQUIRE the 12 BELIEVERS to be re-baptized in Acts 19? ***
It was NOT for remission of sin as that is what John preached, and these were people who had been baptized by John, FOR THE REMISSION OF SIN.
Mark 1: 4. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance, FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS.
Now, did these men gain new sins that required baptism again AFTER THE CRUCIFICTION? If baptism for remission was again later required should all Christians be rebaptized every few weeks to remove old sins?
NO! They were baptized with ritual baptism to be identified as followers of JESUS. They were already believers.
Acts 19:2. He said unto them, have ye received the Holy Ghost SINCE YE BELIEVED?
No different than a standard Baptist church baptism.
