I was thinking over the Matthew 28 commission and it seems that there is a whole lot more difference than we may see from the surface.

Jesus commanded that they teach all things he commanded. Jesus did not teach or command the Gospel that Paul taught. so if you are going to follow Matthew28 you have to preach the Kingdom Gospel.

Jesus Never taught water baptism but that which he practiced was John's Baptism not what we term Believers baptism. so if your going to follow Matt 28 you will have to practice Baptism for the remission of sins.

Some other commands of Jesus were, "Mt 5:40-42 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away." so if you are going to follow MAtt 28 you will need to give more than the court says in any law suit, you will need to travel twice as far as anyone would force you to go, and if anyone ask anything from you you must give it. If you don't follow and teach these things you are in violation to Jesus Command of Matthew 28:19, 20

especially this one Mt 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. how many following Matt 28:19, 20 are perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect?

There are so many more questions raised by following Mat 28 than answers. so if you are one who follows Matt 28:19, 20 please read all the things Jesus Commanded his disciples and you will have to teach these as well not just water Baptism for the church today but the law for Jesus taught them to keep the commandments, cast our devils, heal the sick, turn you cheek when someone punches you. and all that is mentioned above plus more.

we can't just pick what we want to teach if we will follow Matt 28:19, 20 and ignore the rest because you will not be fulfilling this commission. Jesus said, Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: all things mean all things he commanded as recorded throughout the Gospels
