Do you have an answer?
So Jesus' first disciples were not baptized with Christian baptism?Well, I think I understand completely.
Salvation is not about “understanding completely” it is about a relationship. There is no such thing as “rebaptism”. You are baptized into the death of Jesus, or you are not. John’s baptism was of repentance. That is not Christian baptism.
Peace to you
I must be. You only provide a Bible verse and a link to a different topic. Neither address the questions.Are you dense? Post #34.

Why are you being evasive?
I am waiting for you to speak directly to my questions and answer them. You did not answer them. You gave a verse and a link, but no answer.Yes, you must be, I answered those questions in the link provided. All you need do is think about it.
Are you searching for somethiong to ACCUSE me of?
Scripture does not specifically say they were baptized in water, as far as I know.So Jesus' first disciples were not baptized with Christian baptism?
My assumption is this:
1) You have no documentation to any lineage of faith.
2) You, and primitive baptists, fully embrace landmarkism and thus don't have any interest in evangelism.
The implications from Jesus acquiring His disciples is they were baptized by John the Baptist.Scripture does not specifically say they were baptized in water, as far as I know.
No accusation. That's you being prejudiced and judgemental....,you mean your accusation is this - true to your colors.
You haven't been around here long enough to know me.
How does your argument with @canadyjd fit with Landmarkism? I must say I don't see the connection.
I disagree with Landmarkism. I hold the Baptist successionism of the faith and practice are solely found by way of our New Testament. Upon which genuine Christianity stands or falls.How does your argument with @canadyjd fit with Landmarkism? I must say I don't see the connection.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by Baptist Successionism. Are you saying that only people who are fully immersed in water are saved and all others who profess Christ as Lord are not?I disagree with Landmarkism. I hold the Baptist successionism of the faith and practice are solely found by way of our New Testament. Upon which genuine Christianity stands or falls.
???Really???Are you saying that only people who are fully immersed in water are saved . . . .
Can you actually answer the question instead of going "Really?"???Really???
Only immersion is immersion. Only believers' immersion is believers' immersion. Believers' immersion is a work. Believers' immersion accompanies the gospel but is distinct from the gospel. All the Holy Scriptures are true without contradiction.
One is not saved by works.Can you actually answer the question instead of going "Really?"
Believers' immersion is a work. One is not saved by works.It seems you are trying to say that immersion in water isn't needed for salvation.
The 27 books being the New Testament.What, according to you, is "the Baptist Succession of Faith."
Do you reject the other 39 inspired books?One is not saved by works.

No.Do you reject the other 39 inspired books?
Ok. Can you prove Christianity, Jesus' life, death and resurrection without any references direct or indirectly in any way to the New Testament.Moreso, every Christian denomination and sect that I know of holds to the same books you hold. Therefore, you can easily be a Lutheran and enjoy the 27 books of the NT. You still don't define "Baptist Succession of Faith."
What is Baptist Succession of Faith? I have never heard the term and since you used it, I figured you had a definition. Apparently you don't.No.
