Hi Wotsup,
That "we" would not have been you and I.
Wotsup's and my ancestors from amongst the Nations would have been pagan with many lords and many gods.
Matt 28:19 would be applicable for us. NO WAY, BECAUSE in your MIND, YOU are partially being Baptized INTO an IDOL = FULL STOP!
In all seriousness, if you don't get and grasp the following, then our advice would be;
Through Jesus to The Almighty God and Father, or to just Jesus, as per His promise in John Ch 14, put your brain in neutral, (the set SEED), put aside the net etc, and Just concentrate on John.
To be Baptized in Jesus's name means = YOU believe EVERY WORD of The Fathers which Jesus Spoke - The Word of Life, and by doing so, you are also accepting EVERYTHING about the The Almighty God and Father, The Fathers Holy Spirit, The Fathers True Light, you name it.
The Almighty God and Father, CAME to His own, and "they" received HIM NOT, and we HAD A FLOOD, however, those (Noah and Co) that did receive him...................................YOU ARE Born-again "BY" The Word OF God (1 Pet 1:23, which was IN The World and also brought INTO, the world "By" Jesus, the Temple NOT built with Hands, like never before, to FINISH, The Almighty God and Fathers WORKS = Getting The Word of Eternal Life out there.
Because of Jesus, some of us, now SEE and Hear this - Acts 2:33.
The DOOR has Now been reopened, (Jesus) to the Almighty God and Father just as was told, way, way, way, back as in, Jesus was slain...........................The mystery Hid IN God, in the mind and plans of His God and Father of Lights James 1:17. and John 1:1-2.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
I had quite a lengthy post put together, to walk you through the truth of John and to be honest, it nails it down to a tee, flows like water off a ducks back, how on earth this "CLEAR" picture got lost, I'm still trying to find out, but that, sadly from the Bible, appears,,,, answered.
However, I haven't seen any seriousness from you, that you are prepared to seek truth, hence I just saved it to file.
