You Know	Re: Was Charles T. Russell Baptised?
	The fact of the matter is that the baptism of Christendom was considered to be valid up until around 1919. Since most of the Bible Students back then were from various denominations they weren't required to get baptised. A similar thing occured in the first century. Those who were baptised by John the Baptizer were not necessarily baptised later, but were instead qualified to be baptised with holy spirit at Pentecost. However, those who were baptised by John and who for whatever reason were not on hand on Pentecost had to be baptised again in order to recieve the holy spirit. 9See Acts 19:1-5) That's why in many respects the events of 1919 and the restoration are very similar to Pentecost, in that it was a turning point as relates to baptism. / You Know
