The Gospels and the Mystery

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Verse 16 was never once instructed by Paul to the Gentiles, but we continue:

Maybe you should like actually read the bible before trying to teach people. Paul baptized both Jews and gentiles when he proclaimed the gospel

And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us. Acts 16:14-15​

​

And [the jailer] brought [Paul and Silas] out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and he was baptized, he and all his, straightway. Acts 16:30-33​

​

And [Paul] departed thence, and entered into a certain man's house, named Justus, one that worshipped God, whose house joined hard to the synagogue. And Crispus, the chief ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his house; and many of the Corinthians hearing believed, and were baptized. Acts 18:7-8​

​

Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Acts 19:4-5​

 

[ChristRoseFromTheDead]

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
So, those who believe they are under the gospel preached by the eleven and by Christ, they better be able to do all that Jesus said the believers and followers of that Kingdom Gospel were empowered to do, with never any mention of future diminishing as a convenient way out from the demonstration of those things.
How about it, all the single-gospel people out there. Please show to us videos of you all doing these things. We all would very much like to see it.

derp!

Should Mark 16:9-20 be in the Bible?

[Musicmaster]

The last proverbial straw was this indictment against Israel that no other man apart from Christ leveled against that people:

Acts 7:51-53
51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.
52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers:
53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it.

Stephen's stoning one year after the ascension of Christ Jesus fits like a glove with this:

Luke 13:6-9
6 He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none.
7 Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground?
8 And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung [it]:
9 And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou shalt cut it down.

This was the beginning of the greater persecutions against the believing Jews in Jerusalem at the hand of Paul in his zeal to go out for a number of hears after this into the outlying provinces seeking out believing Jews and Jewish converts before the Lord finally stopped him on the road to Damascus, and you know the rest of the story from then onward.
