death by beheading was fictitious. His doctrine of baptism<br />

was changed to became a symbolic action, <strong>and</strong> the deceivers<br />

used the name which the people had chosen for the presaged<br />

plotted to take Jesus’ life. They also invented a Satan, <strong>and</strong> a<br />

hell in which those who do not accept the divine gift of grace<br />
