I love you sister, and your love for the Lord and his words..
You presented your stand very well and brought the evidence that sways you in all of this..and I have to say this you presented it well, and maybe I am missing some of the points you presented such as "JESUS did Baptize"..though you say with the spirit and fire...only I believe it was in water also, along with spirit and fire.
Because of what is I read in John 3:25-27 with verse 26 being a strong statement of Jesus baptizing with water as John did, I will stay with believing Jesus not only baptized with spirit and fire, but with water also...
The Parenthesis I still believe to be added words into the bible as I have read it in one of my translations ....and I have so many I am not sure which one and I do hope to find it to present it, though I still will use the argument that John 4:2 speaks contradiction against John 4:1 and John 3:26 and against the message of the entire bible that Jesus baptized his disciples in water as he chose them, for his work, and upon his leaving them and ascending into the clouds, they Holy Spirit was given to all men who would believe in the name of Jesus, and they where left with the instructions given to us in Matthew 28:19 go ye therefore into all the world making disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
It is not my desire to cause you affliction in all of this we have been discussing, by disagreeing, as there are some who understand as you present the verses and then there are some who understand the way I have presented and the Good news is Jesus loves us all who love another and obey his laws of Love in all we do..so we are both in his grace and in HIS BODY... Allelujah!
AND I LOVE YOU TOO!
