1 | Does Jesus' name satisfy Matt 28:19? | Acts 2:38 | Tim Sheasby | 22296 | ||
EXEGESIS: I am a member of a group who meet once a week to do exegetical studies of God's word. We recently looked at the terms "in the name of" and "into the name of" and what the original Greek preposition was. It was interesting to see that in Acts the word was 'eis' and in Matthew it was 'en'. The first implies "entry into" and the second implies "on the foundation of" or "by the authority of". When you see this you see that the phrases are not contradictory but rather complementary. We are baptised "into" the name of Christ "by the authority" of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. | ||||||

OOPS! My memory is not as good as it should be. Just checked my Greek Text and found that I had the two words, eis and en, the wrong way round but the difference in the two prepositions still carries different nuances that removes any possibility of contradiction. | ||||||
