   To be door knockers? No, no, no.   
   To be a Jehovahs Witness? No, no, nooooooo. (As prescribed by their doctrines   
   and dogmas of their religion) No, no, noooooo,   
      
   Notice here too the disparity of their translations, but that is not the   
   point for this post.   
      
   The real point is that this commandment speaks to making disciples of Jesus   
   Christ, not of or for any religion. Make disciples by teaching them in every   
   manner that Jesus did to his original disciples, not just the 12 but the   
   hundreds that were His disciples.   
      
   The Baptism in water for the Believer was to be only for those that were Born   
   Again and Baptized by Jesus , as scripture says. You can verify that be   
   reading the book of Acts. In the various scenarios.   
      
   Water baptism is an outward sign confirming that which happened internally,   
   water Baptism saves no one.   
      
   It is also extremely conflicting to see the doctrines of the JW and their   
   prescribed water baptism does not do as even their own ill begotten   
   translation calls for as the do not water baptize for the above reason but   
   for the JW Org reasons, they also twist the commandment of V 19 so as to   
   deceive its followers that they were the real deal.   
      
   They should allow God to speak to their hearts, believe upon Jesus and his   
   word so as to have access to God the Heavenly Father. To Commit their lives   
   to Jesus, so that the blood of Jesus may wash away ALL their sin, and be Born   
   of the Heavenly Father and filled with the Holy Spirit that will empower then   
   to live for Jesus from their Hearts, their spirits, and thus be in constant   
   communication with God if they will walk in the Spirit.   
      
   Matthew (NWT) 28   
      
   18 Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been   
   given me in heaven and on the earth   
      
   19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing   
   them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit,   
      
   20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I   
   am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.†  
      
   NKJV   
      
   Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been   
   given to Me in heaven and on earth.   
      
   Mat 28:19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them   
   in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,   
      
   Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and   
   lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
