"For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."
Paul's main point in being among the Corinthians was not to do some religious act (which Christ's actually commands in Matthew 28:19), but it was to preach the gospel! Can you preach the Gospel? It should be of the utmost importance in a new believers life: learning & speaking the Gospel of Christ.
1 Corinthians 1:25
"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."
Just a reminder that if you do look like a fool among men for preaching the Gospel, it is not you that they consider a fool but rather God himself.
1 Corinthians 1:30
"But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,"
God has called you to his wisdom that which has been known since the beginning of time (John 1:1) and never shall fade (1 Peter 1:25). Consider Romans 12:2. Why would we be called to renew our minds if we already understood?
