“I taught what was clear in Acts 11:26: SAVED = CHRISTIAN = DISCIPLE, simply meaning that you cannot be saved and you cannot be a true Christian without being a disciple also. I taught that, to be baptized, you must first make the decision to be a disciple, and then be baptized… I taught that their baptism was invalid because a retroactive understanding of repentance and baptism was not consistent with Scripture.”
