First of all, it is troubling to me that so many on this forum, believes stronger that embracing the Acts 2:38 doctrine of baptism is what gives rise to Oneness revelation rather than what you used to believe took place according to that scripture...namely a filthy sinner coming to salvation and the remission of sin.
We jump up and down when we hear the 234 ministers in the Baptist General Conference in Uganda being baptized in Jesus name and all of the sudden we make the leap in assuming ALL of them now have a revelation of the Oneness.
Also, you cannot speak of A2:38 in a vacuum. It has been hotly contested from both sides whether baptism is FOR the remission of sins or BECAUSE OF the remission of sins. Both groups embrace the scripture, but they do not see eye to eye. So which side has prominance? Who is correct? Both?
Also there are folks here who believe that if you compromise the social and cultural doctrines you automatically denounce Acts 2:38, the Oneness, the Holy Ghost, Holiness, etc.
So, I think you may be concerned and that has me concerned.  |
Carpenter is correct. There is a lot of over sensitivity sometimes when peripheral matters are questioned.
A few people seem to take the "all or nothing approach." If you don't condemn coulottes then you must also baptize in the titles.
