    Again, the biblical facts repudiate your whole line of reasoning. The "baptism" in the Spirit is found in every instance prior to Pentecost in the future tense whereas "filled' and "full" are found prior to Pentecost. That destroys your whole theory.

    Second, you are so narrow minded that you refuse to see that "filling" thus being "full" of the Spirit is not limited to just manifest "power" but can be equally applied to manifest "fruit" of the Spirit and leadership by the Spirit.

    Have you ever thought about CONTEXT???? The context of the "head filled with dew" immediately explains what part of the head is being referred to - his hair is filled with water (locks). However, no "power" is being manifest? The second reference is metaphorical. As the same sword is filled with "fatness" as well. The CONTEXT again explains that it is a metaphorical expression for slaughtering sacrifices, but again no "power" is being implied.

    I agree fully with that, as being Baptist, would not have one Infant baptized giving local church mebership until believer baptized, but was addressing more of the issue that we cannot have fellowship, nor not see those who would hold to infant baptsm such as the Presby Christians as not in the body.church of christ!
