If this were the case then then baptizing and teaching are either temporal, manner, or instrumental participles. So either, make disciples while baptizing and teaching, make disciples by baptizing and teaching them, or make disciples by means of baptizing and teaching. Funny how baptizing is mentioned first. As a baptist myself, this doesn't seem very strong to my case.Jacobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929459883009785597noreply@blogger.com
