1 | In the name? vs In the Titles? | Acts 2:38 | punkiedo | 113145 | ||
Ok then why over and over in acts does it say be baptized in Jesus name? And being arrested in the name of the law, still that tells me in what name I am being arrested. Further more baptism is a deed right? 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. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Jesus said that. Here are some more. There is no record of anyone being baptized any other way. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. **Now he just said to be baptized in Jesus name so in verse 41 what name do you honestly think they were baptized in? RIGHT after this discussion.** Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Acts 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) **This scripture tells me 2 things. 1 that it is not enough to believe and be baptized there is more. The Holy Ghost the joy that comes with it. That is it. 2 Baptism in Jesus name was always a Prerequisite to the infilling of the Holy Ghost. And in Acts how did they know they had received the Holy Ghost? They heard them speak with tongues. We have a lady in our church that use to be in a specific denomination, and they didn't believe in the Holy Ghost or baptism in Jesus name. And she told God she said "I don't understand is this all that you have? What about the joy and peace? I want that." And God led her to a Pentecostal Church Praise God! And when she got filled with the Holy Ghost like the bible says speaking in tongues and we re baptized her, because she had been baptized in the "Titles" she came out of the water and all she could do was cry and say "this is real this is real I feel a difference." I can believe on Jesus all day, but that is not what will save me in the end. James 2:19-20 Since the devils believe are they saved? but that's a different discussion for another time. (just a thought)** Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. |

Soooo...Peter Lied when he said be baptized in Jesus name? Then why didn't the other disciples (who WERE there) say "Hey Pete that's Wrong Jesus said do it this way"? Let's look at this. First of all you say that you believe the bible. The bible says that they were baptized in the NAME OF JESUS. IF you believe the bible, why don't you believe they were baptized the way it says they were baptized?? And uh yeah I am challenging your belief in the word. You can't say that you believe the bible for what it says if you don't. So that would also change Kalos (Honest) into umm..you get the picture. Well let's see. The name of the FATHER: John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. So in this scripture Jesus said that his name is his father's name or uh his father's name is his name. So the name of the FATHER is JESUS The name of the Son: 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. I am sure we all will agree that the name of the SON is JESUS. And the HOLY GHOST: John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. So the HOLY GHOST'S Name is JESUS. Jesus said baptize in the NAME THE NAME SINGULAR. Not Baptize in the titles. And you always quote Matt 28:19 what about the verses above and below? Matthew 28 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. |

I have spent an incredible amount of time examining this divisive topic. I am truly in love with Jesus, and I love His Word. I believe that this is a well-researched answer to your question: Peter was not a liar for baptizing “in the name of Jesus.” One must understand, however, what the original command means. In the Gospels, Jesus commanded that the disciples do many things “in His name.” He told them to accept Children in His name (Matthew 18:5 / Mark 9:37 / Luke 9:48), to gather in His name (Matthew 18:20), to perform miracles in His name (Mark 9:39), and to petition the Father in His name (John 14:13-14, 26 / John 15:16 / John 16:23-26). Jesus told his disciples that anyone who brought them a cold glass of water in His name would not lose his or her reward (Mark 9:41). Jesus also warned that many false prophets would come in His name (Mark 24:25 / Mark 13:6 / Luke 21:8). That leads us to the question, “what does it mean to do something ‘in the name’ of Jesus?” If you are stating that someone must have the phrase “in the name of Jesus” spoken over him or her when he or she is baptized for the baptism to be legitimately pleasing to the Lord, then it seems that you are relying on a formula of vocabulary. If that is the case, then think of the implications for the above mentioned verses. When a small child comes to me for care, do I have to say, “I am accepting you in the name of Jesus” for that action to be pleasing to the Jesus? If I reach out my hand and lay them on a blind man’s eyes and ask the Lord to heal Him, do I have to verbally communicate to the man, “I am doing this in the name of Jesus?” When I ask the Lord for something in keeping with His will, must I end my prayer with the formula, “in the name of Jesus?” When I come together at my church to worship Jesus, must my pastor speak these words aloud, “we come together here in the name of Jesus?” The Greek wording of “in the name” in Acts 2:38 is epi ho onoma. Literally translated, it means “upon the authority or character.” That makes much more sense when you consider the previously stated verses. I accept children upon the character of Jesus. I perform miracles upon the authority of Jesus. I make requests of the Father on the authority and character of Jesus. When I come together with a group of Believers, I do so, again, on the authority and character of Jesus. If I do these things and do not vocally tack on the phrase “in the name of Jesus,” my actions are still pleasing to Him. Another key phrase in Acts 2:38 is “for forgiveness of your sins.” Peter commanded that they be baptized “in the name of Jesus for the forgiveness of [their] sins.” The Greek phrase is: eis aphesis ho hamartia. The word that seems to cause confusion is the word “for” in the phrase “for the forgiveness of your sins.” The word eis, in this phrase, signifies an action in the past. For example, I could say: Bob is wanted for murder. That sentence could have two meanings. It could mean that Bob is wanted so that he can go commit murder. The other meaning is that Bob is wanted because he committed murder. The latter is correct when the word “for” is used in the past tense. Consequently, one should be baptized because he or she has repented and been forgiven of their sins. The repentance brings forgiveness, not the act of baptism. To say otherwise is to undermine the entire principal of grace. The Bible was written in Hebrew, Greek, and some Aramaic. It does not matter what “in the name” means in our culture or vocabulary. The Greek wording means “upon the authority or character.” When Peter commanded people in the book of Acts to be baptized “in the name of Jesus,” he was telling them to be baptized upon the authority and character of Jesus, to be baptized in the interest of Jesus, for the pleasure of Jesus, because of the command of Jesus, because of the excellency of what Jesus did. (Check out the lexicon at Studylight.org or any other Greek lexicon). He was not stating that the phrase “in the name of Jesus” must be uttered to make the baptism legitimate. Your first question was, “was anyone baptized in any other name?” The answer is no. No one was baptized in any other name besides the name of Jesus. When they were baptized, the disciples might have declared, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” They might have stated, “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” They might have proclaimed, “You are born again because of your faith in the Son of God, Jesus Christ!” We do not know what came out of their mouths when they baptized. We do know however that they were baptized upon the authority and character of Jesus. That is what the Greek command means. This was done in response to repentance and forgiveness. Please consider what I have said and do your own research on the validity of it. I think that you will find that it stands true. God bless! |
