Christian "purpose" and "meaning" in life.

[Lek]

You've got a real problem with biblical interpretation. I'll just stick with the baptism I had, but thanks anyway for the advice.

Oh Really? How do you interpret the actions in Acts 19? Why did Paul have to re-baptize them? They were already believers, they had repented, and they believed in John's follower, jesus, so using your "biblical interpretation" what was the purpose? Why wouldn't the Holy spirit come unto the men who were already disciples?

19 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when[a] you believed?”

They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

3 So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?”

“John’s baptism,” they replied.

4 Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues[b] and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all.

Evidently, they hadn't accepted that Jesus was the Son of God. They were to believe in the one coming after John, which was Jesus.
