While Scripture undeniably records instances of public preaching, a careful theological and narrative analysis demonstrates that the dominant and sustainable pattern of apostolic mission is relational, dialogical, and community-integrated. Evangelism in the New Testament is not event-centered but discipleship-oriented. Its goal is not momentary response but incorporation into the covenant community of the church. In contexts such as India, where biblical literacy cannot be assumed and where religious plurality shapes worldview from childhood, the ...

Certain groups interpret the number as a literal, limited class of believers. Others associate it with ecclesiastical hierarchies or exclusive spiritual elites. Some take it as an exact census of ethnic Israel in a future tribulation. Yet a careful reading of the text within its literary, theological, and apocalyptic framework reveals that the 144,000 functions not as arithmetic but as symbolic theology. The number appears explicitly in two passages: in Book of Revelation 7:4–8, where 144,000 are sealed from the tribes of Israel, and again in Revelation 14:1–5, where they stand with the Lamb on Mount Zion. In both contexts, the number operates within h...

A New Testament Theological and Ecclesial Clarification Tomson Thomas   ๐ด๐‘๐‘ ๐‘ก๐‘Ÿ๐‘Ž๐‘๐‘ก The question of the proper baptismal formula—whether baptism should be administered “in the name of Jesus Christ” alone or “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit”—has generated significant debate in some modern Christian circles. This article argues that the New Testament presents no contradiction between the Trinitarian command of Jesus in Matthew 28:19 and the baptismal references in the Acts of the Apostles. Rather, Acts presupposes the Trinitarian formula and uses “in the name of Jesus” as a theological and confessional designation, not as a liturgical replacement. The consistent witness of the New Testament and the early church affirms Trinitarian baptism as normative Christian practice. 1.        ๐‘‡โ„Ž๐‘’ ๐น๐‘–๐‘›๐‘Ž๐‘™ ๐ถ๐‘œ๐‘š๐‘š๐‘Ž๐‘›๐‘‘ ๐‘œ๐‘“ ๐ฝ๐‘’...
