I've seen several times on this Forum reading through the hundreds of Topics the argument based upon that Paul's Teachings were specifically designed for the Gentiles. We know Peter was focusing upon the Jews and Paul was setting up Churches in the nearby Nations surrounding Israel.

This thread is just to see how many truly hold to Paul's Teachings.

1) We know the Grace Message is specifically from Paul
2) We know the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are taught to us from Paul
3) Paul taught us the specifics to Christ's own Teachings
4) Paul covers every area us GENTILES need to be better Followers of Christ.

But how many, who are claiming to follow the Message of Paul, were Baptized like he Taught?

Here is a Verse from Paul's writings to the Corinthians:
13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?

Paul only Baptized 2 people because he feared people would claim they were Baptized [in the Name of Paul]. And because of this fear, Paul emphasizes what Name should be used during Baptism, the One Who was Crucified for all of us. Who was Crucified for all of us? Yeshua was.

So my question is simple.
If us Gentiles are following the Teachings of Paul, did we follow his Teachings by being Baptized in the Name of the One Who was Crucified for us?

I think I need to be re-Baptized if I am to follow Paul's Teachings since I am technically a Gentile!

What do you think?

What does baptism have to do with it?

remember, paul went to the Jew first, every city he went in he first went into the synagogue, when he won a few people and most of the Jews rejected him, he took those believing Jews and went out and started home churches.

his message was just as applicable to any jew as it was to any gentile

Jesus came to die on the Cross for our Sin and establish a better way that Judaism.

No, we are not grafted into Judaism (which is the denial of Jesus' first coming and His Atonement for our sins.)

Yes, we are grafted into Jesus who is the Vine and the New and better Way.

Absolutely, no question there, praise God for his only begotten and for his wonderful grace.
No argument there.
It's not a new and better way....it's the only way😉😉😉😉
Many people have disregarded Israel completely, we are to understand the old to see the relevance of the new. That is my point. The new testament is very Jewish. In order to understand God's order and ways we have an advantage of looking at the example of Israel.
The hebrew language that God chose to use is a very complex yet concise language.
The symbolism has its place of understanding.

A new heaven and a new earth are waiting for Israel and everyone else.
This world is old and will pass away.
This world of knowledge will pass away.
but wait,
All we need to do is endure to the end.

Have you ever been baptized? If not, go
