Bible Question: i am not very educated in the bible, i go to church, and im a christian, i just dont understand a whole lot about the bible, and i hear soo much from several types of people on what they beleive, but my question is on baptism, my church baptises thefather, the son, and the holy spirit, which to me refers to jesus, but... my sis n law, who is pentacostal, she says you have to be baptised in jesus name. that the others are just titles. i have looked this up some, but i dont really know where to look in the bible. i have found many places on baptism, but one will say one way, and another ,another way. can somebody enlighten me on this subject, and help me to become not so bible eliterit? |
Bible Answer: Hello Jenna, The above words in the verse came straight from our Lord Jesus. For your sis n law to say that to be baptized in this fashion isn't right (I'm reading between the lines here) is not correct. This is the way Jesus commanded it be done. Other places in the Bible say in the name of The Lord (acts 10:48), or in the name of the Lord Jesus (acts 19:5), or in the name of Jesus Christ (acts 2:38). Some think that even though Peter said to be baptized in the name of Jesus that he actually did in fact baptize the way Jesus commanded them to do, "INTO the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Or in other words, that Peter was saying to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ whereby meaning; "the way Jesus commanded it to be done". Personally, I believe that what Jesus said in the above verse is the way to baptize. Love in Christ bgg |
