This is where so many are failing to see Jesus, ultimately obeying Acts 2:38 in its proper perspective rather than using it to divide christians who are earnestly seeking to make heaven their home.
Apostolic distinctives? Right on brother. We are a very proud people...the bride of Christ to be sure. tic. Actually, if we went where we deserve to go...it would not be heaven.

Now see, why so derogatory?? Could you have made your post without that one line?? Or is it so hard to not speak with the sarcasm???
Any way , we have come back full circle in this discussion I am happy to say, and in the light of our understanding I do not beleive as you have said. In as much as I do not worship the words in
Acts 2-38 but in as much as you have said, the meaning or "person" behind those words.
Acts 2-38 is expressed in several places in the scripture all with the point being belief in Christ and the blood of redemption.
This is the problem with most, we simply misunderstand each other,
Still no need for the sarcasm or degrading attitude.
