if you say so! just seems strange that those directly taught by the Apostles believed differently and no one was able to correctly understand the Bible until the 16th century, even with the Holy Spirit indwelling them!
Who were they? Sources?
and no one was able to correctly understand the Bible until the 16th century,
That's because the Catholic church abandoned God.
even with the Holy Spirit indwelling them!
The Holy Spirit indwelling whom? They'd have to be Christians first.
You'd trust men like these to interpret Scripture correctly?
Since the practice that the Bible describes over and again is that a person becomes a disciple first and then is baptized those who followed what the apostles taught made disciples and then baptized them.
THAT was Jesus’ command, ‘make disciples...baptize them’. If you can find a contrary order please share it.
Who are these ones “directly taught by the Apostles’? Don’t forget that Paul told the elders of Ephesus that after his going away apostates would arise FROM WITHIN the Christian congregation’,(Acts 20:30) men that had been ‘taught by the apostles’, men who would ‘speak twisted things’.
