Acts18:25
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being servent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
Catechised, or taught, viva voce.
Christ, who hath by his Precepts and Example taught us the way to happiness;
very zealous to promote Gods Glory, and mens Salvation, as Rom. 12.11.
Who Baptised with Water, but could not Baptize with the Holy Ghost, Matth. 3.11. that is, they had not those extraordinary Gifts of the Holy Ghost which followed upon Baptism after that Christ was Ascended, and the Spirit poured out, Chap. 2.4. But Iohn was a preacher of repentance, and of faith in Christ, pointing at the Lamb of God; and he Baptized his Disciples into this Doctrine; which is the same with the Baptism and Belief of the Apostles afterwards. Only now they knew many things more fully than were revealed in the Baptists time.
