There is no evidence that they were anything else. They received the Holy Spirit via Paul laying hands on them. That and the fact that...

Saying it doesn't make it so. Romans 6:4 Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised...

I am quoting scripture. Do you deny that Paul baptized people as late as Acts 18 and 19? That is your doctrinal position. You don't get...
