1 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | Mathew | 85639 | ||
Tim, I agree with everything you said about getting baptized. I agree that a person should be baptized "into" the name of Jesus. And to do this you must beleive in your heart that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior. The name which is above ALL names. To say that the person doing the baptizing must speak out the name, seems irrelavent though. Not to mention the bible doesnt say that they actually spoke out the name of Jesus. But rather were baptized into his name. Because for instance; in whos name was Jesus baptized? Or what about the theif on the cross? Was he baptized? Just as God knows if we have committed murder by hating our brother, and adultry if we lust in our hearts. I beleive that when we confess Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior with our mouth, that he knows in our hearts whos name were getting baptized into. So even though I think people that use "In the name of the Father,Son,and Holy Ghost our wrong" I dont beleive that it is an invalid baptism, as long as they know that their getting baptized INTO Jesus name. And like the bible says, were sin abounds,grace does much more abound. Were we are weak, he is strong. I think that every Christian knows that when they receive the Holy Ghost, their receiving Gods Spirit, which is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost....The name of "Jesus". Jesus was the fullness of the GodHead bodily. We have that same Spirit in portion. This is not a denominational teaching, its just my view. And if your wondering, I beleive that Jesus Christ is the Spirit of God(Father)incarnate. Christ is only called the Son according to the flesh. I'm a Seventh Day Adventist who doesn't beleive in Three seperate Spirits. Only One. MaTT |

2 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | Emmaus | 85640 | ||
Matt, We are baptized into Jesus not into his name. We are baptized "in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit". When we do something in someone's name we do it with their authority, like a Police Officer saying "stop in the name of the Law." He is claiming to exercise the authority of the Law which has been delegated to him by a higher authority. So the Church and the minister who is batizing "in the name of the Father,Son and Holy Spirit" is doing so with the authority of the Holy Trinity that Jesus delegated to his deisciples when He gave them the great commisision to go forth and baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
