Dan, are you a licensed minister with the UPCI?

Dan you believe that baptism in Jesus name is not a Biblical absolute doctrine,that must be adhered to?

Not loaded, just simple yes or no.

But the original Greek after Dan translates it may mean BEFORE they believe?

That man is some translator I tell you he reminds me of the Yahoo I mean Yahweh guys.

Not to me. In common use it refers to a future event. Do one thing, and IT MAY BE something else will occur.

Please don't ever use a translation in any .... of your sermons ... since you discount any other alternate translations provide in discussions here.

It really seems obvious to me. Repent, that your sins may be washed away. Without repentance the waters of baptism serve no purpose.
