Does being Apostolic make you better?

He is saved. He is not superior, but he is in a superior position.

No, but apparently Mizpah has.

Your Church would take someone THE SAME HOUR they accepted Christ to baptize them? I want to get this straight.

And perhaps we "Apostolic" would say the same.

Sure if we were washing they were washing our stripes.

No, not usually we want them to understand why they are being baptized. So if they wanted to be baptized right away we would explain it and dunk 'em.

1. You know what she meant.

2. You were the one who brought up "extra-Biblical words of Paul"

3. Do you honestly feel you are in position to pick and choose which verses to follow?

Well the use of the term, "Apostolic" while excluding the rest of those who the Father has accepted makes you suspiciously close to the pharisee in the passage that Sam posted.

I am not picking and choosing, I follow them all. Believers are to be baptized. She certainly believes that there is more to what Paul said than what he said.

I on the other hand don't. Being raised in the UPC I learned the only place to find the plan of salvation was in the book of Acts so I looked to see where someone asked how to be saved and...

BAM

There is Paul saying Believe and be saved.

Just struck me as a bit ironic that you posted this.
