5.5.17.
The mission: the Jesus Groups were dynamic. We have very little information about a mission by James’ group. Acts contains several mentions
of baptismal communities: in Samaria: Acts 8:16 and in Ephesus: Acts 19:1ff. The latter are said to be baptised only in the name of Jesus, in other words, by John’s baptism; they did not yet have the Holy Spirit.
The most impressive mission was that of Peter’s group. Peter himself is depicted as a missionary in Acts 10; baptism is integrated into Peter’s mission, so we can interpret Peter’s mission as the final stage of mission that was then continued in the general Christian mission.
I do not know if it’s just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering issues with your website.
It appears like some of the text on your posts are running off the screen.
Can someone else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as
well? This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Thanks
