Contradiction with Matthew 28:19
This verse instructs to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but Acts 10:47 supports immediate baptism without detailing the manner.
Matthew 28:19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [teach...: or, make disciples, or, Christians of all nations]
Contradiction with John 3:5
States that one must be born of water and the Spirit to enter the kingdom of God, implying a necessity that may contradict the immediacy shown in Acts 10:47.
John 3:5: Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Contradiction with Mark 16:16
Suggests that belief and baptism are required for salvation, whereas Acts 10:47 emphasizes baptism without explicitly mentioning belief beforehand.
Mark 16:16: He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Contradiction with Acts 8:36-38
Philip requires a confession of faith before baptism, which may differ from the scenario in Acts 10:47 where the Holy Spirit is the testament.
Acts 8:36-38: And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Contradiction with Acts 2:38
Peter says to repent and be baptized for forgiveness, indicating repentance first, while Acts 10:47 emphasizes baptism post-reception of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Contradiction with Galatians 3:27
Indicates baptism into Christ clothes one with Christ, possibly suggesting a transformative aspect not highlighted in the scenario of Acts 10:47 where baptism follows the Spirit's reception.
Galatians 3:27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Contradiction with Romans 6:4
Describes baptism as a burial into death to walk in new life, which may suggest a more symbolic role than the straightforward act described in Acts 10:47.
Romans 6:4: Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Paradox #1
Acts 10:47 talks about not withholding baptism from those who have received the Holy Spirit. One possible contradiction could be that traditionally, certain groups were excluded from religious rites, but this verse suggests inclusivity. The inconsistency lies in historic religious practices that have restricted access versus the inclusive message suggested here.
