The First Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel

The First Principles and Ordinances of the Gospel. Acts 2:38: 12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. 13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. 14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: 15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: 16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) 17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost. (New Testament | Acts 8:12–17) No church is apostate Christianity professes the above, from the Catholic trunk to the tiniest limb springing from that trunk, whether Baptist, protestant, Unitarian, Methodist, Presbyterean.
