I have been the victim of abuse in my life, and yet through Him I have been able to lay it all at His feet, freely forgive, feel peace, find love, and understand how important negative life experiences can be in teaching us humility. "Wherefore, how great the importance to make these things known unto the inhabitants of the earth, that they may know that there is no flesh that can dwell in the presence of God, save it be through the merits and mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah" (2 Nephi 2:8)
He rebaptized them and laid hands on them so that they could receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:5-6).What About Re-Baptism?Tens of thousands have had the experience of "repentance" at an early state in their lives. "Isn't the important thing that we worship Jesus Christ? Does it really matter how we worship Him?" Yes it does! Jesus said that the time would come when people would worship Him in a wrong manner! He said, "In vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Mark 7:6-9).We must not swallow "hook, line, and sinker" what any man says
Do not surrender your principles! The classic Fundamentalist movement was not scriptural, it does not now exist in its original form, and has no warrant to be continued as a movement. The culture stays alive by independent Baptists promoting every Protestant revivalist and evangelist from the past while denying the heritage of its true ancestors.The Fundamentalist Movement completed its evolution into an independent Baptist culture around 1976
Therefore, it is my belief that the men would have discussed issues mostly while doing their trade while women had to go to the local market daily to buy food and probably had some socializing there and certainly some congregating took place at the community well. To me it seemed so obvious that the gifts of the wise men could have been used to purchase copies of scripture that the family probably could not have afforded otherwise
This is true because Luke says that being baptized with the Spirit is being filled with the Spirit, and being filled with the Spirit is always for extraordinary power in ministry. There are good reasons for believing that these disciples were already born again and converted and had the Holy Spirit dwelling in them (John 13:10; 15:3; Romans 8:9; John 3:5)
WHEN DID JESUS SAY THE RAPTURE WOULD TAKE PLACE?
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light. 8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be

John the Baptist, what veiled revelation is Matthew making concerning the identity of Jesus? Answer: If John is the prophetic voice who is announcing that God is coming to claim His kingdom, and if St. Possible answer: The kingdom is ethical because it demands the human response of repentance and conversion (Mt 3:2; 4:17) followed by humility (Mt 18:1-4), forgiveness (Mt 18:23-35) and in living the new Law of internal righteousness that is demonstrated in external actions as outlined in the Sermon on the Mount (Mt 5:3-6:33)
Leaders like John Smyth, Thomas Helwys, and John Murton among the General Baptists in England searched the New Testament and arrived at conclusions about the true nature of the church. Some like Obadiah Holmes were imprisoned for their beliefs, while others like Henry Dunster (first president of Harvard College) and William Screven, a Kittery, Maine, merchant, were banished from their homes

What we have here is not so much his ministry as the unique position he was in, chosen by God to be the one who would introduce the Messiah to the Hebrew world.

John the Baptist's Doubts - He Is In Prison Wondering About Jesus
An angel had visited his father Zacharius, a priest, in the temple when he was preparing to burn incense and told him that his aged wife would give birth to a son who should be named John. After John was born, his father prophesied by the power of the Holy Spirit and announced that John would go before the Lord to prepare the way (Luke 1:76-79)
So what is the point? Perhaps the Gospels are suggesting that the ministry which was John the Baptist's would continue on after the death of John to the ministry of the disciples of Jesus Christ. As a child in church, I was riveted by the story of John the Baptist and how he lived out in the wilderness, wore strange clothes and ate grasshoppers (well, really locusts, but we did not have those in Colorado)! Eeww! But beyond his eccentricities, we often do not take much time to reflect on this most significant figure and what his example might mean for us
JOHN THE BAPTIST: preached repentance, beheaded after Salome's dance
He dressed as a hermit, in an austere camel's hair garment, and ate a hermit's sparse diet - locusts and wild honey ( see What they ate in Bible times for instructions on how to cook locusts!)
The Birth of John the Baptist - homily for 24th June

It depicts the birth of Jesus and John in two parallel series of scenes, each with an angelic annunciation, conception, marvellous birth, circumcision, hymns greeting the children and predicting their destiny, and infancy.

John the Baptist - New World Encyclopedia
Since Zechariah was a priest of the Abijah division, and his mother, Elisabeth, was also of a priestly family (Luke 1:5), it is said that John consequently automatically held the priesthood of Aaron, giving him authority in Jewish eyes to perform baptisms, although this rite was generally reserved to new converts to Judaism. The Eastern Orthodox teach that John was the last of the Old Testament prophets, thus serving as a bridge figure between that period of revelation and Jesus
CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. John the Baptist
It was far-reaching, too, as we learn from Acts 18:25; 19:3, where we find that proselytes at Ephesus had received from Apollo and others the baptism of John.
