8. Understood only baptismof John, 25

Even good Bible students need help
Good heart, sincere attitude, love of truth, yet still wrong!
Good heart puts him in category of Jn.7:17
![Page 13: The Right Stuff Acts 18:24-28](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062305/5681484f550346895db561e3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
NT is not a multiple choice plan “When a sincere man in error learns the
truth, he either overcomes his error, or he quits being sincere”
Accurate teaching is necessary for proper baptism (Ac.18-19)
Acts 18Apollos learned better, changed
his teaching
Acts 19Disciples learned better, changed
their baptism
