The only rejoiner is "make believe."

The history of Israel is a type of the church. There was a point in which Elijah thought he was the only one who had not bowed the knee to Baal (false doctrine).

The despairing prophet's hyperbole mixed in with perhaps his self pity doesn't really equate to the fact that there simply was not an "Acts 2:38 church" for around 1,700 years of church history.

Pel, I really hate to burst your proverbial bubble, but it is knid of difficult to believe that Acts 2:38 was not adhered to for 1700 years. I could be wrong, but it is hard to imagine my friend.
