1 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | charis | 257 | ||
Apparently the apostles baptized in the name of Jesus. Was this a revelation from the Holy Spirit after Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? | ||||||
2 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | GStrecker | 6663 | ||
Matthew 28:19 stands alone in scripture in its language. In all other places in scripture where it describes the carrying out of Jesus' command, we see it administer "in the name of Jesus Christ" or some variation, but always with the saving name of Jesus being mentioned. Moreover, the historical administration of baptism "in Jesus name" is well documented outside of the Bible in early church documents. Several Catholic popes are even documented as accepting baptism administered in the name of Jesus only to be a valid baptism. The formula was not officially changed until the Council of Nicea sometime around 325 A.D.
