The Foundation of the Apostles and Prophets

What does the Bible actually teach about the identity of God, the revelation of Jesus Christ, and the baptism practiced by the apostles? The Foundation of the Apostles and Prophets invites readers to return directly to Scripture and examine these questions from Genesis to Revelation. Beginning with the biblical declaration that God is eternal, uncreated, and one, the book follows the testimony of the Law, the Prophets, the Gospels, and the apostolic writings to explore how the invisible God has made Himself known throughout history. Through passages such as Deuteronomy 6:4, Isaiah 43:10, John 1:1–14, Colossians 1:13–18, Colossians 2:9, and 1 Timothy 3:16, the study examines the relationship between the one God revealed in the Old Testament and Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The book then turns to the apostolic teaching on baptism, distinguishing John’s baptism of repentance from the baptism practiced after Christ’s death and resurrection. Acts 2:38, Acts 8:16, Acts 10:48, Acts 19:5, Acts 22:16, and Matthew 28:19 are examined together to understand why the name of Jesus Christ occupies such a central place in apostolic preaching and practice. Written from a biblical Oneness perspective while respectfully acknowledging differing Christian interpretations, this book challenges readers to examine inherited doctrines in light of Scripture and ask a fundamental question: Are our beliefs truly built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Jesus Christ as the chief cornerstone?
