pos: Baptism in early Christianity Gospel of Matthew also includes the most famous version of the Great Commission. Here, the resurrected Jesus appears to the apostles and commissions them to make disciples of all nations, to baptize, and teach. This commission reflects the program adopted by the infant Christian movement. This gospel, today generally believed by scholars to be the first and to have been used as a basis for Matthew and Luke, begins with Jesus' baptism by John, who preached a baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. John says of Jesus that he will baptize not with water but with the Holy Spirit.

He was baptised in 1853 aged 14 as part of the "Baptised Believers" (this was 11 years before the name 'Christadelphian' was coined by John Thomas; he was re-baptized in 1863 "on attaining to an understanding of the things concerning the name of Jesus,

Knibb recalled that "in those seven years, through the labour of about twenty [Baptist] missionaries, 22,000 people were baptised upon their profession of faith in Jesus Christ". Knibb personally baptised 6,000 converts, and translated the Bible into Creole, the native language of the slaves.

The baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues ‘endues a believer with power from on high’ (LUKE 24:49). The Bible never states that ‘being baptised with the Holy Ghost’ brings salvation, it is an added gift (ACTS 11:17). Two of the church’s bible studies even state that ‘most Full Gospel fellowships’ teach another path to salvation than CAI teaches: (http://www.cai.org/bible-s…/baptism-holy-spirit-regeneration) and (http://www.cai.org/bible-studies/baptism-holy-spirit).

pos: Catechumen is recorded in the Bible that Paul the Apostle, who started out as a Jewish persecutor of the Church, underwent sudden conversion on the way to Damascus when Jesus Christ appeared to him in a vision. Regarded as the type of sudden conversion, this event was followed by baptism, with, however, a period of study and learning following, lasting a number of years. While there are examples of people being immediately baptised after having declared their faith, it seems that this was the exception rather than the rule (see above). Quoting Shaye J. D.

Christians emphasise that the human spirit is the 'real person', the very core of a person's being, the essential seat of their existence. When a person accepts Jesus Christ as their Saviour, it is their human spirit that is transformed as they become 'new creatures' in Jesus Christ.
