Charismatics tend to use “anointed” to mean what gives them a good feeling, is exciting, or is something they approve of. The Bible uses “anointed” in specific situations. In the Bible, anointing with oil is performed in religious ceremonies and used for showing hospitality, personal hygiene...

If baptism was about regeneration then woe to Paul for not baptizing. But what he said was woe to himself if he did not preach the gospel. Christ would clearly have sent Paul to baptize as well as preach were it necessary for salvation.

No sure what the purpose of this post was. "Baptize" here is the verb, G907, which appears more than 70 times and is used to refer to both water baptism and spiritual baptism. In 1 Corinthians 1:17 the meaning is obvious, "For Christ did not send me to water baptize, but to preach the gospel...."

There is available today an excellent Greek-English lexicon that gives the reader the proper meaning of every word in the New Testament in the specific contexts in which it is used. About three years ago, I wrote a post about the BDAG Lexicon. For your convenience, here it is again, By the...

1 Corinthians 1:17, For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect. Believer's water immersion is done in addition with the gospel.

Rather than point you toward sources for understanding the definitions to best use in the translation of the original languages, without a well-grounded working knowledge of the original languages themselves, I very much like the back door approach made by Ascetic X, who aims you almost in the...

They would use though 1 Corinthians 1:17 Paul says, “For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.”

I left out the phrase "called to be saints" in my quotation of 1 Corinthians 1:2, and you copied it, leaving out the verse as well. Sorry about that.

I have made notes on four verses in 1 Corinthians 1, not spending much time in doing so, and I may have written down some inaccurate interpretations of some or all of those verses. This is because I don't know the right definition to choose in the Strong's concordance. Based on some previous...
