MATTHEW 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:19 is the guiding principle behind CCF as a church. But is the said verse an authentic part of the bible ? Many bible scholars think that Matthew 28:19 is an insertion and a fraudulent part of the bible. See http://www.everlastingkingdom.info/article/127/constantine-wrote-matthew-2819-into-your-bible.html
Keeping the analysis simple, I find it physically impossible for the disciples to go to every nation and make disciples. Why would Jesus instruct his disciples to do something humanly impossible ? Take note that the verse says ALL nations. It is not merely saying some nations but all nations. Secondly, the role of baptism as an extremely important part of one's salvation is highly questionable. Nowhere in the bible does it say that one needs to be baptized to be saved. Lastly, would Jesus really invoke the trinity ? Baptism has always been performed by the disciples in Jesus' name. Nowhere in the bible did the disciples perform the act of baptism in the name of the trinity. It would just be unthinkable that the disciples would disregard Jesus' commandment regarding the need to invoke the trinity during baptism if Jesus truly said the verse in Matthew 28:19.
So what does that make of CCF and its members ?
So Jesus is the one who invented Networking? lol. Seriously, I believe in God. But not in religion crap.
