Of Apollos the Scriptures say:
Acts 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing [U]only the baptism of John./U]
The "baptism of John" that Apollos preached was the Levitical washing of Leviticus 8 until the gospel of the grace of God, the mystery(Ephesians 2, Ephesians 3) were revealed to him that he learn:
Acts 18:26 And
he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla
had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him
the way of God more perfectly.
He spake boldly where, preaching the baptism of John,
the Levitical consecration of a kingdom of priests, unitl the way of God was expounded unto him
how?
Scripture with Scripture brother. Water baptism is an ordinance of the Law of Moses.
Grace and peace to you.
