1 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | Savannah | 30896 | ||
What is the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? His name is Jesus. In Acts, Peter tells a crowd of people they must be baptised in Jesus' name. The crowd consists of the 11 remaining apostles, who like wise were all present in Matt 28 when Jesus said to Baptise in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If the apostles didn't think Peter was correct in telling the crowd to be Baptised in Jesus' name they would have objected to this. They didn't. They understood that Jesus is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are titles given for God. Just as you may be a Father, Husband and Son, or likewise a Mother, Wife or Daughter! Do you believe that God was manifest in the flesh as Jesus Christ? | ||||||
2 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | Emmaus | 30961 | ||
Savannah, You seem to have forgotten Acts 8:14-17 and the Church's unbroken history of trinitarian baptism according to the command of Jesus. Apostolic men, successors of and closer to the apostles than we are resolved this issue almost two thousand years ago. It is their faith and their understanding of baptism that has been passed down to us. To be Christian is to be Trinitarian. This is basic catechism (quoted below)instruction in the Faith. If believe in the Trinity fails, the distinct Christian vision of God, including Jesus as God incarnate, collapses. Who is he offering Himself as sacrifice up to for us? Any why would we need the Holy Spirit whome Jesus promised and sent? God already had many names in the Old Testament and he has many among the Muslims too. The Christian Trinity is not about names it is about three Persons with one divine substance or nature. " 253 The Trinity is One. We do not confess three Gods, but one God in three persons, the "consubstantial Trinity".[83] The divine persons do not share the one divinity among themselves but each of them is God whole and entire: "The Father is that which the Son is, the Son that which the Father is, the Father and the Son that which the Holy Spirit is, i.e. by nature one God."[84] "Each of the persons is that supreme reality, viz., the divine substance, essence or nature."[85] 254 The divine persons are really distinct from one another. "God is one but not solitary."[86] "Father", "Son", "Holy Spirit" are not simply names designating modalities of the divine being, for they are really distinct from one another: "He is not the Father who is the Son, nor is the Son he who is the Father, nor is the Holy Spirit he who is the Father or the Son."[87] They are distinct from one another in their relations of origin: "It is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds."[88] The divine Unity is Triune. 255 The divine persons are relative to one another. Because it does not divide the divine unity, the real distinction of the persons from one another resides solely in the relationships which relate them to one another: "In the relational names of the persons the Father is related to the Son, the Son to the Father, and the Holy Spirit to both. While they are called three persons in view of their relations, we believe in one nature or substance."[89] Indeed "everything (in them) is one where there is no opposition of relationship."[90] "Because of that unity the Father is wholly in the Son and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Son is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Holy Spirit; the Holy Spirit is wholly in the Father and wholly in the Son."[91] " Emmaus |

3 | Jesus' name baptism? | Acts 2:38 | Savannah | 31586 | ||
Emmaus, Thanks for reciting the council of Nicia. No not all Christians are Trinitarian. This note you left me is precisely why I don't like the Trinity. It causes confusion. We both believe in one God. Acts 8:14 I believe this supports me not you. In Mathew 28 Jesus has taken the Apostles aside and councils them on baptism. Baptise in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. The Apostle then go out and baptise in the name of Jesus. Were they confused? Did they disobey? Jesus wants all things to be done in His name including baptism of the water and of the Holy Spirit. What about in Revalations when God mentions His father. Or should I say again that the time the Bible was written the people spoke very formaly, they spoke in repatition. My other example of name of the Father etc.. I believe the scripture I'm talking about is in Rev 1 or 2. Savannah |
