Truth About “Making A Disciple” (Matthew 28:18-20)

STOP getting “re-baptized” if you were already baptized in accordance with the Scriptures! All you are doing is getting wet to join an organization. But you could also be speaking blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Here is a study on the teaching that one must be “made” into a disciple before baptism.

Matthew 28:18-20 “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

“Make disciples” is an aorist verb. Aorist: (especially in Greek) an unqualified past tense of a verb without reference to duration or completion of the action. It’s also an inceptive aorist: Having an action begun at a certain point.

“Baptizing them” is a present active participle Doing something while doing something else. Example: “While walking, I looked over my shoulder.” I did one thing while doing another. Notice “walking” is the present participle, an on going action, while “looked” is past tense, an aorist verb.

Matthew 28:18-20 Made a disciple, when you baptized them!!!

Baptized=Disciple=Christian!

    The restoration movement can be very adamant about getting rebaptized if you didn’t know you were getting baptized for the forgiveness of sins.

    One half of the restoration movement founders, Alexander Campbell, was infant sprinkled/baptized in a Presbyterian church. He realized later that infants cannot get baptized and so he had a baptist baptize him later as an adult: http://forthright.net/2011/08/04/alexander-campbell-and-baptism/

    But, he did not get re-baptized at a later date when he came to the conclusion that baptism was for the remission of sins.

    Why are so many church members faithful to an organization but not to God to learn all that they can in the pursuit of truth?
