The Didache, or The Teachings of the Twelve Apostles, is a second century

document, dated around 120. It is generally considered a "pious fraud," meaning


that it was fictitiously written in the name of the apostles for a pious reason.
It has little value historically. Its section related to baptism is quite short:
1. And concerning baptism, thus baptize ye: Having first said all these things,
baptize into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in
living water. 2. But if thou have not living water, baptize into other water; and
if thou canst not in cold, in warm. 3. But if thou have not either, pour out water
thrice upon the head into the name of Father and Son and Holy Spirit. 4. But
before the baptism let the baptizer fast, and the baptized, and whatever others
can; but thou shalt order the baptized to fast one or two days before (CCEL
Teachings of the Twelve Apostles:VII). It was made by Catholics in an attempt to
prove the trinity title baptism as valid. Within the scriptures from Acts 2:38
until 22:16; nobody whether Peter, Paul, or Philip ever mentions or does any
baptism except in Jesus Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ, or simply Jesus in baptism.
In fact Paul later writes explaining to new converts by his letters, the
importance of using the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Read Galatians 3:27,
Colossians 3:17 and Romans 6:1-6. Titius 3:5, 1 Peter 3:21, and 2 Timothy 3:5; all
point to baptism by faith (Mark 16:16, Luke 24:47, and Acts 2:38) in the powerful
and regenerative name of Jesus. No where was anybody baptized three times by a
sprinkling method! The Greek word "Baptizo' means to dip, immerse, or overwhelm in
a liquid, specifically water here. And "Rantizo" or to sprinkle, is never use in
translation as they are two very different words. Philip baptized the Eunuch in
Jesus name by immersion in Acts 8:26-40. Jesus, our great High Priest who did all
things that we would have to do, (Hebrews 4:15) was immersed by John in the Jordan
and the Holy spirit in dove form lit upon him. Just as Romans 6:4 and Colossians
2;12 shows that we must be baptized by faith in the likeness of his death, burial,
and rise in newness of life; having the Holy Spirit in us. Nobody ever gets buried
at funerals by a sprinkle of dirt. Rather they are covered by it. And to baptize
in titles (Jesus is the family name in Ephesians 3:15. Jesus is the name of the
father, (John 5:43) son, (Matthew 1:21) and the Holy Spirit. (John 14:26) Jesus
has all power and authority in Matthew 28:18. His name alone can save in Acts
4:12. It is commanded for all things, both in every word and deed, in Colossians
3:17. So, we can believe either the Holy scriptures (The witness of God) or the
Didache, (The witness of man) by the name called in our baptism. 1 John 5:8-10
And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the
blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the witness of men, the witness
of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his
Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that
believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that
God gave of his Son. When one is baptized in water, the blood of Christ now covers
him, and the spirit enters in. Clearly here it states the word is more important.
Also, if we do not believe and obey it we have called God a liar! Matthew 7:21-23
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, (Jesus is Lord of all in Acts
10:36!) shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my
Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we
not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name
done many wonderful works? (All except batism in Jesus name!) And then will I
profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Unless
your sins have been forgiven by God's method, your lost! Acts 2:37-38,41 Now when
they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the
rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Here are Jews from every
nation hearing God's knock on their heart's door. As Luke 24 stated that the
Apostles would preach remission and repentance to all nations, to begin at
Jerusalem. Let's see what they told these guys to do to be saved. Then Peter said
unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Remission means or is equal to forgiveness. So to be forgiven, all need repentance
and by belief, baptism in Jesus name. And not because they already were forgiven,
as some falsely report! Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and
the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Now today many
try to divert people from salvation, by teaching vain traditions of lost men, who
have made the word of God to none effect. Jesus alone is the way to God! John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto
the Father, but by me. If there is only one Lord, (Jesus) faith (We are saved by
faith in action through his grace shown at Calvary. Not by our efferts yet we must
obey his word in faith. Read Ephesians 2:8-10, James 2:15-26, and Hebrews 1: 1-37.
He allows us to receive salvation when we act in faith. A great example of this
principle is in the story of Naaman in 2 Kings 5:1-15. Naaman was healed by his
faith and dipping himself in the formula, as given to him by God through the man
of God. We must live by every word of God instead of taking here and there,
suiting ourselves instead of rightly using the word as we have been commanded to
do! Matthew 28:19 is the only scripture taken out of context to justify sending
souls to Hell, by unbelief. If you believe you will be baptized properly,
correctly, and by the scriptures. The choice is yours. Choose you now whom you'll
serve. It is either God or tradition. Matthew 12:37 For by thy words thou shalt be
justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. God bless you in Jesus name!
