Oops of the Day

Babies can be baptized. Cornelius’s entire household was baptized and it obviously included babies.

Acts 10:2 & 33 & 48

Fact of the Day

No!  Cornelius and all his household feared God.  When Peter arrived, Cornelius said, “We are all here before God to hear all that you have been commanded.”  Then Peter ordered them to baptized.  Babies cannot fear God nor can they hear (listen to intelligently) preaching nor can they obey a verbal order.

Oops of the Day

Only ordained ministers can baptize someone.

Acts 9:10-12,18

Fact of the Day

No!  The man who baptized the future apostle Paul was just a “disciple” (follower).

(In Afghanistan, they do it by telephone.  The prospect takes their phone to a pool or other body of water and calls the Christian man who will say the “holy words” over him.  The Christian takes his confession and records it, says,”I now baptize you in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Spirit.”  The prospect dips himself under water, the baptizer prayers for them, and, if safe, the new Christian takes a picture of himself or herself all wet.  The baptizer then sends the recording to all the other Afghan Christians.  [Usually it is not safe to take a photo].  And everyone rejoices.)

Oops of the Day

The apostles were ignorant, uneducated fishermen who associated with riff-raff.

Acts 4:13  –  Luke 5:7-10  –  Matthew 9:9

Fact of the Day

No!  That’s  what their enemies called them. They were raised Jews, so went to the local synagogue school.  At least four were business owners.  One was a tax collector.   Further, if they had been uneducated, how were they able to write such eloquent letters that became parts of the New Testament?

Surprise of the Day

“You hypocrites! You shut the door to the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces.  You will not go in, and you stop those who are trying to get in.”

Matthew 23 Many

Fact of the Day

Look closely at the word – HYPO-CRIT or HYPO-CRITICAL  Hyper means overactive.  Hypo means under active.  A hypo-crit is someone who has no opinion about anything.  Nothing is truth. Nothing is right or wrong.  Nothing matters.  Just do what feels good.  It is also a word that is sometimes translated GODLESS (no God).

Surprise of the Day

The early church met and worshiped on the temple grounds called “Solomon’s Porch”. What was it?

Acts 3:11

Fact of the Day

Solomon’s porch was 8-1/2 feet wide and ½ mile long. It was a colonnade. It was all that was left of Solomon’s original temple built around 900 years before Jesus.

Oops of the Day

Only ordained ministers can baptize someone.

Acts 2:16 & 41

Fact of the Day

No!  Three thousands were baptized on the Day of Pentecost.  The 12 apostles would have had to baptize 250 people each.  At 20/hr (1 every 3 minutes), each would have had to baptize people without resting for 12.5 hours.  If they began at noon, they would have had to be baptizing people to or past midnight.  Surely some of those they baptized helped baptize others.  The 3000 were baptized “that day”. Further, the future apostle, Paul, was baptized only by “a certain disciple/follower”.

Oops of the Day

All 120 men and women in the upper room began speaking in other languages (“tongues”) by the Spirit on the Day of Pentecost.
