Tralon,
It seems you have answered your own question. You state there is no record of churches not baptizing after Paul's death...there is no scriptural record of churches after Paul's death...period. There is no record of Timothy or Titus being baptized. There is no record of the converts in Ephesus being baptized, yet Paul spent 3 1/2 years there. Just because the baptisms in Ephesus are not mentioned does not mean they did not occur, does it? The same rule applies both ways, just because there is no mention of churches not baptizing doesn't mean were baptizing.
Thank you |
