IF you deconverted in midlife, can you help?

What? were you baptized as a baby?

Yup and confirmed at 12. Got a problem with that?

No problem at all, just wondering how a baby knows what repentance is, or even what it has to repent for...

So basically what you're saying is that you have tunnel vision and are unwilling to look at all the other scriptures that put that one verse in context...

You can't find anywhere in the Bible where ANY of the disciples baptized using the trinitarian formula, they all baptized in the name of Jesus Christ... that should make it obvious how one should baptize. I mean, if in doubt, you'd figure you'd follow the example of the original apostles...

But no, imma just focus on this one particular verse...

Whereas you will ignore it, lol.

Not my problem the Scriptures aren't crystal clear on this and other matters.

Personally, if I were a Christian, I'd say it doesn't really matter either way. Baptism in the name of Jesus or the F/S/H, they're both supported by the Bible.

*emphasis mine*

This is the reason why there are hundreds of different denominations, everyone has their own interpretation of how to do things, instead of following the example set in the scripture...
