Should we baptize "in Jesus' name" or not?

[faithbringshope]

not only is the actual one God baptism in Jesus name evident everywhere in scripture, including Mat 28:19 because the one name of the Father, son and holy ghost is JESUS so this is why all the other scriptures say to baptize CALLING on the name of the Lord Acts 22;16. the apostles understood their God to be one and not a trinity God. they only called on Jesus name in baptism and history books and encyclopedias have recorded the entire event when the Roman church changed the baptism from Jesus

[faithbringshope]

Catholic Encyclopedia, II, page 263:

"The baptismal formula was changed from the name of Jesus Christ to the words Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by the Catholic Church in the second century."

[faithbringshope]

Wilhelm Bousset, Kyrios Christianity, page 295:

"The testimony for the wide distribution of the simple baptismal formula [in the Name of Jesus] down into the second century is so overwhelming that even in Matthew 28:19, the Trinitarian formula was later inserted."

[faithbringshope]

Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, I, 275:

"It is often affirmed that the words in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost are not the ipsissima verba [exact words] of Jesus, but...a later liturgical addition."

[faithbringshope]

The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Vol. 4, page 2637, Under "Baptism," says:

"Matthew 28:19 in particular only canonizes a later ecclesiastical situation, that its universalism is contrary to the facts of early Christian history, and its Trinitarian formula (is) foreign to the mouth of Jesus."

[faithbringshope]

The Jerusalem Bible, a scholarly Catholic work, states:

"It may be that this formula, (Triune Matthew 28:19) so far as the fullness of its expression is concerned, is a reflection of the (Man-made) liturgical usage established later in the primitive (Catholic) community. It will be remembered that Acts speaks of baptizing "in the name of Jesus

[faithbringshope]

Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the (one) name of the (one) Lord.

Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Acts 22:16 'And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the (one) name of the (one) Lord.'Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

[faithbringshope]

Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.

Acts 8:16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the(one) name of the Lord Jesus.

[faithbringshope]

HASTINGS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION Christian baptism was administered using the words, "in the name of Jesus." – Vol. 2, pg. 377. Baptism was always in the name of Lord Jesus until time of Justin Martyr when Triune formula used. – Vol. 2, pg. 389. NAME was an ancient synonym for "person." Payment was always made in the name of some person referring to ownership. Therefore one being baptized in Jesus’ name became His personal property. "Ye are Christ’s." – Vol. 2, pg. 377 on Acts 2:38

[scooterphorx]

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,"

What is the name?

JESUS CHRIST.

He is one

[dakotaander]

The name of the father was revealed as Jesus, the name of the son is obviously Jesus and the Holy spirit that is now dwelling in us is Jesus.

[babipassion25]

@dakotaander Amen!  Couldn't agree with you more.

[Laplois]

Loved this video as it had MUCH TRUTH according to GODS WORD, @ takithrterrible, your only speaking against JESUS when you diminish Matthew 28:19 because JESUS could've easily said "go ye therefore baptizing in ONLY my NAME" but HE didn't, and because HE CLEARLY STATES and COMMISSIONS US to baptize in the name of the father son and HOLY GHOST I follow JESUS...the apostles were expressing to the Jews who CRUCIFIED CHRIST that it's this same JESUS that they were baptizing and working the miraculo

[AntiHero2411]

Do we need water for baptizing or can we lay hands and baptize?

[scooterphorx]

@AntiHero2411 WATER

[takitheterrible]

This guy should have never made this video because he looks like a fool.

If "the name of" means the "authority of," how are you sure that Jesus didn't mean baptize "in the authority of" the Father, Son, and Holy and the formula was "in the name of Jesus Christ."

Also Acts 22:16 is clear the name of Jesus was INVOKED in baptism.

Furthermore, he lists all the time people did things in the "name of Jesus Christ," yet it is not proper to be BAPTIZED IN HIS NAME.

GET OUT OF HERE.

[yeshua2cool]

this man does not know what he is talking about, when jesus said baptize them in the name, it was a singular pronoun, greek word, onoma, meaning all that was is expressed in titles, for father son and holy spirit are titles not a name, as it said name not names plural, all that those titles represent are wrapped up in the single name jesus christ, to show that all the fullness of the Godhead was in jesus christ and his name!

[faithbringshope]

the NAME of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is ONE NAME. THIS IS WHY EVERY PLACE BAPTISM WAS DONE IN THE BIBLE THE APOSTLES BAPTIZED CALLING THE NAME OF JESUS

[faithbringshope]

" Canney's Encyclopedia of Religions (1970), page 53 "Persons were baptized at first 'in the name of Jesus Christ' or 'in the name of the Lord Jesus.'" IS IT AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY THAT THE NAME OF JESUS BE SPOKEN WHEN A CANDIDATE FOR WATER BAPTISM IS BEING BAPTIZED?

[faithbringshope]

Hastings's Dictionary of the Bible (1898), I, 241 "[One could conclude that] the original form of words was 'into the name of Jesus Christ' or 'the Lord Jesus.'" The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge (1957), I, 435 "The New Testament knows only baptism in the name of Jesus.

[faithbringshope]

Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics (1951), II, 384, 389 "The formula used was 'in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ' or some synonymous phrase." Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible (1962), I, 351 "The evidence . . . suggests that baptism in early Christianity was administered not in the threefold name, but 'in the name of Jesus Christ' or 'in the name of the Lord Jesus."

[faithbringshope]

Acts 22:16

And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins,CALLING on the name of the Lord.

[rossdaboss1959]

Show just one person in the Bible that was baptized using the titles, Father, Son, n Holy Ghost. Why can't people just wake up already. People were only baptized in the name of Jesus because the apostles knew what Jesus meant in Matthew 28:19. Why didn't any of the apostles speak out, when they baptized on Pentecost in Jesus name? Because they understood that the sing name was Jesus. Whosoever u do in word or deed, do in the name of Jesus Christ. Wake up please! Name singular! JESUS CHRIST only

[drdiscspace]

In Rev 2:13 states, “I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan’s seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith.” Now we have the name Jesus that came from the Greek name of Iesous, which in turn came from the Hebrew names of Jehoshua or Joshua. Jesus's real Jewish name was Yeshua Ben Yosef. I think Baptizing in the name of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as Yeshua commanded is enough, nomatter what Satan changes his real name to. Also Yeshua means Salvation.

[123surger]

@drdiscspace Amen Brother! Though Using the name Jesus is used refering to Yeshua, so even if Churches Do not use the name of Yeshua for Jesus, God Knows they are talking about Him, Yahweh or God.

[GWASynge7]

The reason why Peter baptized in the Name of the Jesus Christ was for the Jews to understand that Jesus was "Christ" which means "Messiah." The Jews believed in a Father and the Spirit but they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah. So in order for them to be saved they needed to accept that Jesus was the Messiah and for them (the Jews) to publicly state that Jesus was the Messiah they were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ not just "Jesus." Acts 2:38

[takitheterrible]

@GWASynge7 said "The reason why Peter baptized in the Name of the Jesus Christ was for the Jews to understand that Jesus was 'Christ' which means 'Messiah...' they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah."

The Bible doesn't say that. You heard some preacher say that because he was bent on a formula that wasn't practiced in the early church. Did you know Gentiles were also baptized in the name of Jesus? Explain that

This isn't just a Oneness thing. Trinitarians baptize according to Acts too

[7pentecostal7]

If in the name of Jesus do not describe a baptismal formula, then it is equally true that Matt 28:19 does not indicate a formula. This interpretation would leave the church without any baptismal formula to distinguish Christian baptism from Jewish proselyte baptism and heathen baptism. But the Lord did not leave us without a baptismal formula; the church correctly carried out the instructions Jesus gave in Matt 28:19 when the apostles used the name of Jesus in water baptism. Acts 2:38

Malachi 3:1 says, "The LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant." This was fulfilled by Jesus, whether the literal Temple or the temple of Jesus' body is meant (John 2:21

Jeremiah 23:5-6 speaks of a righteous Branch from David - a clear reference to the Messiah - and names Him "The LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." (See also Jeremiah 33:15-16.) In other words, Jesus is "Jehovah Our Righteousness."

[7pentecostal7]

Did Jesus Christ have two fathers? The Father is the Father of the Son (I John 1:3), yet the child born of Mary was conceived by the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:18, 20; Luke 1:35). Which one is the true father? Some trinitarians say that the Holy Ghost was merely the Father's agent in conception - a process they compare to artificial insemination!

[7pentecostal7]

How many Spirits are there? God the Father is a Spirit (John 4:24), the Lord Jesus is a Spirit (II Corinthians 3:17), and the Holy Spirit is a Spirit by definition. Yet there is one Spirit (I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:4).

[telectronicguy]

you believe there is one God in 3 persons then you have three gods... no disciple baptized in the name of father, son and holy ghost.. does this means they were against what jesus commandment ? or an error on the bible? this big contradiction makes the bible a lie and you a lier.. God is the imaginary friend for adults

[lidil100]

No one believes you to be right except the trinitarians

[kingdomseeker88]

Only someone who believes that 1+1+1=1 could believe that not calling the name of Jesus=using the authority of Jesus.

[Alliwantisone]

Who in the bible was baptized in the name of the father, son and holy spirit?

[siscaryn0067]

@Alliwantisone PTL, True, who was baptized in Matt. 28:19. I know none of the disciples weren't. You know there's a lot of christian's that are just followers and haven't really studied the bible themselves.

[Runako1653]

You are such a minister of Satan, you're gonna find your place in the lake of fire if you don't stop preaching this crap! We pray, sing, bless our food etc in Jesus name but NEVER BAPTIZE IN HIS NAME!!! Repent and be baptized or your place is in hell because you are scattering the sheep!!!

[TheLangelands]

The reason why Jesus instruct his disciples to baptize them in the title is because if Jesus was to tell his disciples go ye forth and baptize them in the name of Jesus. Than he would have spoken of a second Jesus. That is why the Apostle knew what Jesus meant when he instructed them to Baptize in the NAME of the Father, the SON and the Holy Ghost and when they did, They Baptize everyone in the name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST

[jhall38]

If "in the name of the Father, son and Holy Ghost" is formulaic, what NAME is it pointing to? If anything, the logic used by the presenter ought to see Matthew 28:19 as suggestive of another formula, the true formula, "in the name of Jesus" or some variant like "in the name of Jesus Christ". The NAME is in there, not found in Matt. 28:19 . There are none there. If the issue is power or authority, it is in the name, nevertheless. What is the NAME? Isn't the name "Jesus"? Why not say it?

[jhall38]

The error of the presenter here is essentially a trinitarian one. In his heart, he longs to maintain that there is such a thing as "God the Son", as if "the Father and the son" are two separate God Persons. The error is profound. Scripture NEVER says "God the Son". It only says "son of God". The trick is subtle, the effect damaging. The deeper error, more wicked, is that this is at its heart an attempt to deny that God the Father is our Savior, that HE is the One Who came in the flesh.

[jhall38]

Do you that like to say "in the name of the Father, son and Holy Ghost" realize that the man named Jesus is the son of God in whom the Father was manifest as a Spirit? The expression "Father, son and Holy Ghost" is an expression for "God manifest in flesh". God the Father was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself. Who is this "Father, son and Holy Ghost"? The apostle knew Him all too well. He was JESUS, God the Father, the ONE and only God, Who IS a Spirit, manifest in the son.

[jhall38]

The actual truth is observable in DIRECT conversations recorded in the book of Acts. The expression "in the name of Jesus" is QUOTED as falling from the mouths of believers in various settings. Demons were cast out as the believer said, LITERALLY, "in the name of Jesus". The words are QUOTED. Those are the ACTUAL words people said. No one is EVER quoted as doing ANYTHING while saying "in the name of the Father, son & Holy Ghost". No name is spoken in Matt. 28:19. It is only alluded to.

[pcminc07]

@jhall38 Sorry, but none of the early church believers ever said the Name Jesus. It was either Yeshua or Iesus

pronounced EEysus.

[jhall38]

@pcminc07 Yes, they didn't speak modern English. That is clear. But there is evidence that believers came from around the world. They spoke MANY languages. Your contention that they only spoke Greek or Hebrew would therefore be false. Your contention that "eeysus" is the phonetic spelling of the ancient Greek pronunciation is flawed. Your claim that that the ancient Hebrew pronunciation (or else a dialect of it, Aramaic) is "Yeshua" alone is false as well. There are other possibilities.

[jhall38]

@pcminc07 One does not have to speak Hebrew or Greek to speak about the same people or things in the Bible. Languages are constantly in flux. They are not static things. They may be translated. They don't exist behind impregnable walls so that a person who speaks another language may not understand what is being said, or so that a person speaking in another language could not say the same things. "Jesus" is the same name as "Iesous". It's just spoken in a different language.

[jhall38]

This little lecture represents a shallow read of scripture. The gentleman uses ONE SCRIPTURE to interpret MANY SCRIPTURES in Acts. I think a better hermeneutic would be reversed, that is, use of the BODY of scripture to interpret isolated texts is better practice. If "in the name of" must mean, as for presenter, " in the authority of", then why is Matthew 28:19, which uses the same words, "in the name of" not taken in the same way? No, this little lesson represents a bit of subterfuge.

[ELVISALIVE123]

Paul (saul) was a servant of God, Correct? He was faithful to the call given by the Lord, Right? Paul was instructed by Ananias from God , Correct. God through Ananias instructed God's way for salvation to Paul, Instruction from God, Correct. Acts 22; 16, (I quote), and now why are you waiting? (speaking to unsaved Paul) arise and be baptized and wash away your sins, the method (baptism) and the effect, (removal of sins), (for salvation). 1 Peter 3 20-21 Baptism now saves us .

[WOP1967]

Matthew 28:19 says the be baptized IN THE NAME of the Father, IN THE NAME of the Son, IN THE NAME of the Holy Ghost. What's His name? Last time I checked his name was Jesus. And if EVERY single scripture that he made reference to talked about being baptized in the name of Jesus then obviously that is how we were suppose to be baptized!

[eric777100763]

Both are ok. both are in scripture. It is BY JESUS(Yahshuas) authority we batize at all!! Carm, u did good on this one!!

read the bk of john ..in the begining was the word (or logos meaning thought or idea) and the word was with God and the word WASGOD,the same was in the begining w/ God.first u have to get a revalatipn of who he is then rightfully divide the word of truth2tim.2;15 i am a father iam also a son and i have a spirit but i am not 3 seperate beings...just one

[upperoom120]

carmvideos, you have a 4 part video teaching against water baptisim, so what differance in your eyes would it make.

[TtunnutT]

@upperoom120 Those videos are showing that you will still get to heaven even without baptism ie. babies, deathbed believers, thief on the cross, someone who gets killed before they get baptized but after accepting Christ as their Savior.

God bless you!

[TtunnutT]

@upperoom120 Those videos are showing that you will still get to heaven even without baptism ie. babies, deathbed believers, thief on the cross, someone who gets killed before they get baptized but after accepting Christ as their Savior. This video is talking about "In who's name baptism should be done."

Baptism is public showing of what has happened in your life already and I feel an important though not essential display.

God bless you!

[WOP1967]

@TtunnutT

NOWHERE in the bible does it say baptism is a public showing of anything. The BIBLE says in Acts 2:38 that baptism is for the remission of sins...Not a public showing. Nobody ever shows proof that "baptism is a public showing" in the Bible...

[keichuryu]

Colossians 3:17...And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him....Jesus no other name given among men whereby we must be saved

Romans 6:3...Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

[antical79]

This guy proves too much. He says that to baptize "in Jesus' name" only means to baptize with/by the authority of Jesus, but cities scriptures where the name of Jesus was clearly INVOKED in connection with Jesus' authority. Secondly, if "in the name of Jesus" only refers to authority and not actual invocation of His name as this guy says, then the same must be true for Matt. 28:19. So I guess we just shouldn't say anything at all while baptizing someone.

[MrDwaynedog911]

This man is a lier ! what is the name of the father john 5- 43 whats the name of the son matthew 1 -21 whats the name of the holy ghost john 14-26 ! NO ONE was ever anywhere in the bible baptized in the name father, son, holy ghost ! HE did not tell you what JESUS said in luke 24-47 this is what peter did this man makes it seem like he is smarter then the peter -paul- or timothy lol come on his blinded to the word !

[Judgement220]

This is a great video, People need to realize what there saying when they say "JESUS NAME"

Does this mean the specific name of the Lord?

How silly would it be to say someones name and asked what it the name is?

How Silly would you sound if you say "Hey, mike what is your name?"

People need to start thinking about what their saying. "Name" means "Authority"

[BrothaMinister]

@Judgement220 EVEN IF IT DOES JUST MEAN AUTHORITY.. JESUS SAID ALL AUTHORITY IS GIVEN TO HIM.. RIGHT.. ALL AUTHORITY...SO THAT STILL WOULD MAKE IT PROPER TO SAY "IN THE NAME OF LORD JESUS"

[Judgement220]

@BrothaMinister You are to baptize "in the Name" or "By the Authority" of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. This means The Father has given Authority to the Son, and The Son as blessed you with HIS Spirit, the Holy Spirit, Because YOU BELIEVED the Gospel. Only Believers With the Holy SPirit can Baptize.

To baptize any other way, is to be disobedient to THE LORD. The Book of acts is very general in its discriptions, you better go by what The Lord says!

[BrothaMinister]

@Judgement220 WOW.. the bible SHOWS they baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.. so take your own advice.. then you also say WE BETTER OBEY.. but dont you teach WE DONT NEED TO BE BAPTIZED? well that would be DISOBEDIENCE TO NOT GET BAPTIZED RIGHT? so which one is it man... your teaching people to DISOBEY... and what about ACTS 4:10-12.. there is NO OTHER NAME UNDER HEAVEN WHERE MAN MUST BE SAVED.. so i ask what NAME IS THAT? and again JESUS HAS ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH... PERIOD.

[Judgement220]

@BrothaMinister What you need to understand that "in the name of Jesus" shows that they are baptized by Jesus authority. That's it! When you baptize you are to follow Jesus commands that were given to his disciples in Matthew 28:19.

[jessicabarba1]

Hello Mr CooCoo,

In matthew 28:19 it does not say "authority" anywhere. LOL. Here it is, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the NAME of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." Now check out Act 2:38, "Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." I think you should read Revelation 28:19 very carefully. God Bless you :)

[Judgement220]

@jessicabarba1 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All POWER is given unto me in heaven and in earth.Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"  Matthew 28:18-19

Name means Authority.

Did you stop reading the Book of Acts at Acts 2:38 when Peter says.

"To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins." Acts 10:43

Also read Acts 15:7-11

[rvm777]

they used the "authority" of jesus by useing his name! they dint run around saying in the name of the "father,son,holyghost". its just so plain they exercised the authority of jesus by calling on his name!

[cdamianjohnson]

I think it's interesting that this video says that the phrase "in the name of" only shows authority in Acts but denotes a formula in Matthew, especially given the overwhelming evidence that Matthew 28:19 was changed in the second or third century. Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI, said, "So far as its place of origin is concerned, the text (Matthew 28:19) came from the city of Rome."

[DualPortal]

You Contradict your own words, you appear to agree throught most of the video to the support of the "In Jesus name Baptisim" but in the very begining & @ the very end you Say "In The Name Of The FATHER, SON, & HOLY SPIRIT" is the correct way Those are just TITLES not a NAME! & besides if you believe that then sombody is worng Ephesians 4:5 you cannot have them both!! So which books should we rip out of the Bible, the synoptic Gospels or Acts take your pick!

[zadaba3]

Did Peter make up what he said in Acts 2:38? Or was what he said of God?

If of God, why do you not obey, if of man, what is it doing in the Word of God?

You are teaching a false doctrine and are nothing less then of the spirit of the daughters of the harlot church.

In NOT "other words", it's in HIS NAME! You hate the name as all those who are of satan do.

God help you....

[hebrewmatrix]

How did the name "Jesus" became his actual name and more important then his actual name he was called during 4 BCE til his deaf??? What did his mother call him at that time....would i respond to someone that called me Michael instead of Asliumack...Act 4:12 says:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”

[gringit021]

in the name of father son, holy ghost? what is the name of the father? the son? and the name of holy ghost? its jesus. thats why u baptize in the name of jesus. if its all one and your hear over 5 times to baptize in jesus name then you know u have to baptize in jesus name comparing the one quote that you have. its simple you answering your self. in authority of jesus or in authority of father son holy ghost its all 1! its all jesus. anybody could be the father and the son. its in jesus name!

[TruthAxe]

Brother. You spout legalese. Your argument hinges on Matthew 28:19. Yet, your translation is false.

Right translation:

Then having gone, disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (Mat 28:19)

Here are the names: Lord = father. Jesus = Son. Christ = Holy Spirit.

Rightly say, "You are now baptized through the Lord Jesus Christ." Never say "in the name of ..."

You're not going to Hell if you mess up this bit. John 3:16 ;-)

[junlynluc]

I WANT to be baptized in the name of JESUS' bcuz that is the name of ALL names...that Name that holds ALL POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT! If you be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit...it is titles only...you decipher what the "name" of the titles are...only "ONE" name...(singular)...it is the name above all names..."JESUS CHRIST"...the name that millions have died for!

[77JesusSaves]

First of all Jesus never said to anyone: " I am God!" But He wants you to confess.

In the name of the father the son and the holly spirit. <--- This are titles, THE NAME is singular, not plurial!!!

Their is only one name under heaven

there is only one baptism, one Lord, one Saviour. He is the way, the truth and the life. Who ever believe in Him will have eternal life!

IT IS JESUS Christ =D

ps: Does he mean that the apostles were wrong by baptising in jesus name?? O_o

[yi282c]

The Proper form of Baptism is in the name of Jesus Christ!

Father son and Holy Ghost are simply just titles bearing no power. Who is the father, who is the son, and who is the Holy Ghost? Notice in Matt 28.19 the word name is singular, meaning that there is only one name. Every baptism performed in the bible where all done in Jesus name.

[yi282c]

Son-The name of the son is Jesus, as we all understand. Thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

Father- Jesus said I am come in my father's name. John 6:12

Holy Ghost- john 14:26 the holy ghost whom the father will send in my name will bring all things to remembrance.

[yi282c]

In Jesus is the fullness of the Godhead. col 2:9

Do all thing in word and in deed in the name of Jesus christ. col 3:17

By the name of Jesus Christ. acts 4:10 Neither is there salvation in ANY other NAME where by men must be saved. acts. 4:12

Romans 6:3-5; The Gospel is about the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we too, as Christian must go through the same thing, we repent and die to sin, now there's got to be a burial. Baptism is Jesus name represents that burial and subsequent resurrection. The Apostols understood this commision of Math.28:19 very well as evidenced in the book of Acts.

Jesus encompasses all in all pertaining to God and his children, authority and dominion.

What is wrong with you!!!!!!

[dcox90]

wow that made no sense

[quintero777]

Also, Jesus did not say, "In the name(S)" oh no he said "In the name" singular my friend! If he did say "name(S)" then there would be 3 GODs. Since he did not say so, there is only one GOD and ONE GOD ONLY.

[RosalvaJimenez]

I so agree with you, but the name hasnt been revealed to trinitarians, i used to be one and i know how blind they are.

[wyattE415]

@quintero777 Of course Jesus said in the "name." Because there is only One Name because there is only One God, that's exactly what believers of the Trinity believe as well. God is eternally manifested as Three Persons, but He is nevertheless One God. I think arguments against the Trinity stem from an incorrect understanding of what Trinitarian Christians ACTUALLY believe the Trinity is.

[eric777100763]

@quintero777 Then how do you explain that the FATHERS name is YAHheh and JESUS is Yahwehs son.

[quintero777]

Does it not say that Jesus will baptize us with his spirit? Therefore by saying, "I baptize you in the name of Jesus" its by his name we are given the holy spirit. And lets say if they did do it wrong, why then would the holy spirit lead them into baptizing the why they did? If it is the spirit of truth. My brother, you are a trini, and no where in the bible does it talks about trinitity but, only of "oness".

@quintero777 re: the "trinity" comment: Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, **neither the Son**, but the Father. Who did Jesus pray to when He was on the cross? & who said this is my beloved Son in whom i am well pleased when Jesus was baptized.? Check Hebrews ch1( The Father has no God but Jesus does, Jesus is also called God by The Father).

Genesis1v26 And God said, Let us* make man in *our* image, after our* likeness:

Acts5v31&32

[cdamianjohnson]

@zacqt re Jesus' prayers: Trinitarians generally assume that there were two divine consciousnesses at work in Jesus' prayers, i.e., God the Son praying to God the Father. This view assumes a hierarchy in the Godhead, that God the Son is inferior to God the Father, which contradicts Colossians 2:9. Jesus' prayers, therefore, must have come from His human consciousness, which He willingly took on in the incarnation. He prayed because He relied on the source of human strength like all of us.

[zacqt]

@cdamianjohnson RE; "hierarchy" Jesus Himself taught this:John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto

you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the

Father:**for my Father is greater than I.**

1st John 4:12 **No man hath seen God at any time**. If we love one another, God

dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.

4:15 Whosoever shall confess that **Jesus is the Son of God**, God

dwelleth in him, and he in God.

(Part 1 of 2)

[zacqt]

(part 2 of 2) It is worth noting that the devil got thrown out of heaven because of desiring to be equal with God. I belief that because Jesus (being the express image of God) served even unto death, in doing this, revealed the True nature of The Father. This faithfulness is in part why He was exalted

Phil2:V5~13 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in

heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Zech3v8 BRANCH. (1tree=trunk, branch & leaves, 3 parts but 1tree)

[cdamianjohnson]

@zacqt re Gen 1:26: The Hebrew "Elohim" is plural but was translated as "God" instead of "gods" in over 90% of its appearances in the Old Testament. This is known as plural intensive, which is usage of a plural noun with a singular verb to denote a superlative quality of the singular noun. "God" in Gen 1:26 is a translation of the plural "Elohim," so it would only make sense that the pronoun "us" be used to continue the plural intensive construction.

[zacqt]

@cdamianjohnson i don't think there is any problem with excepting the order set out for us in the Bible. Jesus The Son of God is The Heir. You can't be off side with The Father & on side with The Son or vice versa If any have true regard for our Maker/Savior.

There are many references of the two distinct persons of The Father & The Son. John14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

I count me as child of God not a brother of God

[cdamianjohnson]

@zacqt Jn 14:28-"Greater" is from Greek meizon, "larger, elder, greater, more." The Father is bigger/older than the Son, an infinite Spirit vs. a human existing in space and time.

1Jn 4:12-"Seen" is from Greek theaomai, "look closely, perceive." See Jn 12:45-"And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me." "Seeth" is from the Greek theoreo, "experiencing, discerning." None have looked on the Father, but anyone who knows Jesus' character knows that He spiritually the same as the Father.

[cdamianjohnson]

@zacqt cont. 1Jn 4:15-No doubt, Jesus is the Son of God in the incarnation. There is a distinction between Father and Son, but only an existential and relational distinction, not a personal or spiritual one. God willingly limited by flesh is different from God omnipresent and eternal, but their substance (Greek charakter, "person" in Hebrews 1:3) is the same.

Phil 2:10-This verse violates the First Commandment if the Father and Son are distinct in person.

[zacqt]

@cdamianjohnson

I think it is important for me to say to you or any others, that i don't agree with the "JW" position on this matter of hierarchy regarding The Father & Son. Rather i see that Jesus taught "honor Authority" while here on the earth, it is this very humility shown & lived(the common denominator for Christianity) by Jesus that caused The Father's blessing-Heb1v9(The Father has no God)

RE: Phil2v10 see v9&11 Shows the harmony. It may be, i just except Father & Son & see no conflict

[cdamianjohnson]

@zacqt cont. Zech 3:8-The branch represents fruitfulness and life. Jesus used this term in John 15:5, except that He said, "I am the vine, ye are the branches." "Branch" is a Messianic title in the OT, but in John, the branches grow from Jesus. Again, there is no spiritual or personal difference between the OT branch and the NT vine.

Rom 8:17-"And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."

[cdamianjohnson]

@zacqt cont. Regarding the devil, his fall happened because of his open rebellion against God. Lucifer had ideas that did not fit into God's plan, and he acted on them. Contrast this with Jn 4:34-"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work." The Father and the Son were completely unified in will. This was not true of the Father and Lucifer.

[josiahdallas]

I dont think there is a problem doing it either way. If a christian is being baptized trying to be obidiant to the Lord, I think it counts no matter if they use either formula.
