If all we had to do was read then God wouldn't have given us teachers. I'm talking about doctrinal points, not all words. To say baptism is a work, is not found in scripture. If it is, please point it out.

Another point we differ on - the ERRONEOUS idea that God STILL gives us teachers.
Eph. 4 was only until 2 Tim. 3: 16-17.
Now what is able to perfect, or bring the Believer to spiritual maturity, is that which is perfect - the perfect, filled full, or completed Word of God that the Mystery revealed to and through the Apostle Paul brought said Word to completion.
1 Cor. 13; Col. 1; etc.

Good point, I'll have to think on this one.

This business of finding out when certain things ended like teachers is pretty ridiculous. It is not the meaning of the text at all.

On the contrary, it's very important.
Acts 18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. 18:25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
In other words, IP, try picking up a Bible sometime.

Nor does history sustain it. And if the generation who lived with the Apostles and who lived immediately after the Apostles did not understand what the Apostles taught, then who are we to believe anything the Apostles said or wrote? And especially if the bishops created by the Apostles and taught directly by the Apostles did not understand the Apostles, then what kind of teachers could the Apostles possibly have been? Thumbs down, is what kind.
History doesn't sustain it.
