Then read Matthew 28. Why did Jesus himself tell the apostle to "make disciples of the nations and baptize?"
Verses 19 and following:
19 Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: 20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Now do Acts 2:16-21 . . .
16No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:17‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people.Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.18Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.19I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.20The sun will be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.21And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’
I attended a CofC for close to 20 years . . . their prohibition of folks who do everything BUT get baptized due to whatever reason being saved and bashing folks who used their musical talents to worship God became too much.
