Spirituaaly Speaking--is this verse in Matthew 28:19,20 directed...?
to all man kind in obedience to the Lord our Creator?. What is the Teachings we are to Teach that we have been asked to teach and do we do this often, who vows to Love Christ??
What Christs says in the Bible is not just for the People they are talking to at the moment but to all Gods Children. The question is WHAT are we to teach man kind who do not know the Lord. The Bible is not a conversation between one party to another but to Us from Christ..A two Fold Meaning that we today are to keep.

I like to get the 'exegesis' which is that fancy bible word which
I didn't used to know for...context.
I ask then 'Who is Jesus speaking to?'
We see the answer in verse 16:
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee,
So Jesus is not talking to the multitudes but to His own special
group of disciples. He's not talking to Martha, or Mary, or
Mary Magdalene, is He.
No, He's talking to the ones who are given the guidelines in
Luke 14, 24-28 thereabouts. All the disciples would likely
be killed for their work.
Just as the bible teaches that they 'reproduce after their own kind',
so disciples know how to make disciples. Regular people,
like Lazarus, Mary, most others are not disciples, don't do this.
Disciples then go and baptize people who go and then are
changed in their spirit and become a wonderful witness as
others see how they changed.
My job is to abide, to seek Him, and as my avatar says,
2FollowHim.

This commandment was given to His disciples, as I believe only man have authority to baptize but that we are all to be servants of the Lord Christ Jesus and obey His Word.
