18:24-25 What is meant by Apollos only knowing the baptism of John?
Apollos knew the Old Testament spiritual and moral standards God required for salvation right up until the time of John the Baptist, but he knew nothing of that of which John's baptism was simply the precursor: the gospel of salvation, or the Christian faith which centred around Chirst's death and resurrection, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the church as God's witness in the earth, until Aquila and Priscilla had fully explained it to him (CP V26-28).
