Jesus had no sin your right that’s why we need to be baptized in his name we all have sin and it needs to be remitted in the one with now sin. He was baptized as an example for us who would believe in him .
We are baptized because we believe that he died for our sins who had no sin and was raised up again for our justification .
Paul isnt wuestion if the doctrine of baptism he’s just mad because they are all arguing about doctrine and explaining he wasn’t sent to baptize but to preach and reveal the gospel.
she even says he thsnks god he didn’t baotize any of them because they might say they were baptized in his name rather than Christs in that section of his letter
“Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.
For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you.
Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius; lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name. And I baptized also the household of Stephanas: besides, I know not whether I baptized any other.
( it seems Paul’s just covering his base in case someone says “ naw he also baptized me “ I think he’s just saying “ I don’t remember if I baptized anyone else in your group.
Paul explains that he wasn’t sent to baptize people bit to preach the gospel and reveal deeper the message of the cross. But also he did baptize people at times showing its validity in the doctrine.
But the other apostles were specifically commanded to preach the gospel and baptize all nations in his name.
I think a good question to ask yourself is did Jesus chosen apostles filled with the Holy Ghost have baptism wrong ?
“But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus. And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.”
Acts 8:12, 35-39 KJV
philip was a chosen witness and apostle filled with the holy spirit who unlike Paul was goven a commission to baptize in the name of the lord while preaching the gospel
also Peter was eas commanded to preach the gospel and baptize a chosen witness Peter this Peter
“And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”
Matthew 16:18-19 KJV
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
….Now when they heard this, ( Peter preaches a really wonderfully edifying sermon and then ) they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2:4, 37-39
people really never connect that before Paul was ever chosen as an apostle or converted to the church they were going around preaching the gospel and baptizing people as Jesus sent them to do even before that Jesus came spread throughout the whole regions because of all the miraculous works he was doing people even gentile had heard the word of the gospel see acts ten .
Paul’s role was to explain things deeply lie for instance oeter and the others were sent to baptize folks , Paul says “ I wasn’t sent to baptize but to preach “ in other places he says he was a revelator of the gospel . So his role if you notice his letters are totally different it’s because it’s revelation of all the things they had been doing and teaching .
The eventual obvious wuestion for a believer who got baptized might be
“what is baptism for and why did i get baptized into Jesus name for remission of my sins apostle Paul ? How does baptism relate to remission of sins Paul ?
So we find the revelation in the nt doctrine and oils most valuable role to which he was called not to baptize like all the others out there already baptizing but ……to do this
“Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. For he that is dead is freed from sin.
…..But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ( because we died when we were baptized with Jesus who died” in our name “ for our sins ) ye became the servants of righteousness.”
Romans 6:3-7, 17-18
Can you tell me more about baptisms meaning Paul ?
“in whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, ( he just explained the circumcision of or removal of sins of the flesh is baptism together with Christ Jesus ) hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;”
Colossians 2:11-13 KJV
remission of sins. That’s why we are buried in his name beneath the water it needs to mean what Paul’s teaching us in order for it to be important and for us to know why people get baptized . Faith needs to hear the information god sent and believe .
Paul wasn’t a Baptist but a revelator of the subject matter in the gospel baptism is just one sibkect
if Paul taught there is one baptism and the apostles were baptizing in water in Jesus name we eaither have to like some here do say the apostles were wrong and didn’t understand baptism or we could just learn about what baptism is meant to mean to us so we act in faith for remission of sins
We need Paul’s revelations to indersrsnd things like baptism but it’s definately an important part of doctrine regarding remission of sins .
