Perry, I forgot to ask you again to address the situation of baptism in regards to the eleven. Do you think they needed to be baptized again / first time / what? Explain your perception of when they were baptized in the context of, "he who believes and is baptized..."
Also, isn't the context of "believe" here concerning believing the gospel? They had already believed the gospel that Jesus preached, and they themselves preached had already been preaching it to those specific cities where the Lord had sent them. What they had trouble believing was his bodily resurrection, and their commission to preach was being extended to the whole world and every creature. How do you see it? Peace be with you.
