Shows that claims about Babylonian origins often lack connection - takes a closer look at the oft-quoted The Two Babylons by Alexander Hislop providing some much needed clarification on the subject. EXCERPT: Suppose we could go back in time--back to the days of ancient Babylon. What kind of religion would we find being practiced there? According to Alexander Hislop we would find people attending a mass partaking of a little round wafer worshiping a cross going to confession being baptized with water for the remission of sins burning wax candles and bowing before a divine Mother and Child. We would notice that places of worship featured a tower. Priests wearing a circular tonsure dressed in black garments would give those who died the last rites. With monks and nuns in abundance the Babylonians would be practicing essentially all the rites known today in the Roman catholic Church! According to Alexander Hislop it all started with Nimrod and his wife Semiramis thus the subtitle of The Two Babylons: "the Papal Worship Proved to Be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife." But any information about Nimrod and Semiramis in history books is at best sketchy. In the Bible Nimrod "the mighty hunter" is only mentioned four times--and his wife is never mentioned! Nevertheless Hislop claims to know all kinds of detailed information about Nimrod and his wife....By now the reader may be asking the obvious question: Where does Hislop get all this information? The answer is clear. Based on mere similarities he merges a variety of mythological stories together so that the hero in each becomes Nimrod. The Bible says Nimrod was a "mighty one"; in mythology Hercules was a mighty one or giant--so Hercules must have been Nimrod! Nimrod was known as "a mighty hunter"; in mythology Orion is called the Hunter--so Orion must have been Nimrod! The building of the Tower of Babylon is commonly linked with Nimrod; in mythology Kronos

Chapter 7. Concerning Baptism
And concerning baptism, baptize this way: Having first said all these things, baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:19 in living water. But if you have not living water, baptize into other water; and if you can not in cold, in warm. But if you have not either, pour out water thrice upon the head into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit. But before the baptism let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whatever others can; but you shall order the baptized to fast one or two days before. ... been baptized into the name of the Lord

Acts.

When my Father and mother first experienced a Pentecostal Church it was a oneness church. I was raised in their Church until I was 19. And moved to the east coast of the USA. And found the oneness movement there to be much more dogmatic. They have decided that there way is the only way. And it gets dangerous because they believe that if you are not baptized in the Name of Jesus you are not saved. Instead of believing in 3 manifestations of God as the Trinity, they think they are all just one in every way. Boy did my eyes open up to so many wonderful things when I started looking a God as the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit. It was beautiful.
The most dangerous thing about their teaching is they believe that a person has to be filled with the Holy Ghost Baptism in order to be saved. As a young person I had family grandparents….Cousins….that were Baptist, Nazarene…and I know they were saved.
The scripture they used was Acts 2:38… it was there formula for salvation. I guess they forgot about all the other scriptures in the Bible where it said to “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and now shall be saved”. I saw so many people go to the alter and repent, “actually get saved” but the church told them in order for them to make it to heaven they had to be baptized in the name of Jesus, and filled with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. my mother was a pastor wife and she did not have the Holy Ghost yet. Me and my sibling were afraid every time we came home and we could find our parents the the rapture had taken place and we were left behind.

Not even remotely close considering the Holy Spirit inspired both the vision and the writing of the scripture in the very first place. Though I do know that those verses, among many others, pretty much destroys modalism. Then one considers even the deeper implications that Jesus cites this verse specifically causing the Pharisees, who are the forerunners of the modalist heretics, to rend their clothes and condemn him to death for it. Of further interest Stephen also cites this as the Pharisees are murdering him after he told them quite correctly how they and their fathers always resisted the Holy Spirit. The Session of Christ and the Baptism of Christ both destroy the heresy of modalism in its entirety and also simultaneously prove the trinity doctrine.
Daniel 7:13-14
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
