> I agree with the response.  I witnessed to a Baptist friend today (it has been ongoing) and I have been trying 
to stick to Jesus Name baptism.  He can't dispute it as it is scriptural he just tries to worm his way out of 
it in error by saying that he dosn't have a problem with it either way.  He also made the comment that times 
have changed and we know more about God now and things were different back then because of that.  Well this 
opens up a whole avenue for me as I told him that God changes not as he acknowledged (he is a Baptist Preacher) 
and that the church was founded upon the apostles and the prophets Jesus Christ himself being the Cheif Corner 
Stone.  Eph 2:20 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1Cor3:11 
  In conclusion the foundation that the apostles laid was the foundation of the church.  If Gods word can stand 
the test of time and science in locations that have nowbeen unearthed and in events that have been verified and 
never been wrong.  How much more can we rely on the teachings and principals to guide us to perfection in the 
measure of the stature of Christ. Hope this helps! ED:^)>
