Speaking In Tongues Does Not Equal Salvation.

Am I saying Peter wasn't baptized in Jesus name? No, I am not. What I am saying is that scripture never speaks or even hints that any of the disciples were rebaptized in Jesus name, which if it is paramount to salvation, you would think there would be at lease a mention in passing somewhere in the Word.

The fact that there is not speaks volumes against your doctrine of necessary invocation, and the same can be said against the doctrine of initial evidence.

Several of us have already answered your disagreements if you choose to dismiss it that is your free will choice, but we have already clearly shown that baptism must be in Jesus name and the initial evidence is indeed tongues.

Again, the apostles had no special exemption from having had to obey the same message that Peter preached in Acts 2:38.
