- b. to seek to be authorized by those men to continue in his evangelistic efforts, i.e., accountability.
- c. oversight in the work he is doing and joining with them
3. Petition those men to come and examine those who have allegedly professed in Christ.
4. Allow those men to baptize them this time IF warranted and any time thereafter until he could be ordained.

The salvation of those who have true faith in Christ is not dependent upon baptism; ala Rome and some cults. So, it is not expedient that these alleged believers be baptized now. It is more expedient that God's will be obeyed in these manners. Faithfulness has abundant rewards attached to it. grin
