3. Read 1Cor.1:10 then you will know!
I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another
so that there may be no denominations among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

They did and do the exact opposite of what the Lord Jesus Christ says!
5. We all can see Christ Religion people are looking for a fight with the Lord Jesus Christ!

B. Acts 19:1-5
1. While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus.
There he found some disciples. Ac.19:1
2. And asked them: Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?
They answered: No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit. Ac.19:2
3. So Paul asked: Then what baptism did you receive? They replied: John's baptism. Ac.19:3
4. Paul said: John's baptism was a baptism of repentance.
He told the people to believe the one coming after him, that is, Jesus. Ac.19:4
5. On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. Ac.19:5
*** The respond to believe Jesus is ‘baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus’.
6. Without baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus, believe Jesus is in-complete!
