Subject: Why not Baptize as Jesus said to? |
Bible Note: Punkiedo, I’m sorry, but your note provided more questions than answers. For instance: What made you write – “when a lady gets married she is suppose to take on her husband's name”? Is there are a Bible verse that tells a woman she is suppose to? From my experience of living in the Middle East, the wife keeps her last name and the children take on the mother’s last name. Also, we have ministered with certain tribes in Latin America where their children also take on their mother’s name. Too often, we "think" our way of life is God-ordained. That’s one reason why the good ol’ USA is so unwelcomed in the world. One verse that contradicts that particular thought of yours is Gen. 2:34 “That’s why a MAN WILL LEAVE HIS own father and mother He will cleave to his wife, and the two become one flesh.” Who did it say will "leave" HIS family? Your statement “And jesus was baptized unto JOHN's baptism at that time …,” reminded me of Mark 10:39 “…and Jesus said to His disciples, ‘You shall drink from the cup from which I must drink. And you will be baptized just as I must!’ According to the above verse, were Jesus and His disciples re-baptized, or was Jesus referring to one of the OTHER baptisms that Heb 6:2 lists as “doctrine of baptisms”? (Note “baptisms” are in the plural.) Are we to use the "name of Jesus" in our dealings with the other baptisms too? I noted you dropped a few IMPORTANT words in your sentence “If you are baptized in the name of the father son and holy ghost” …If you had worded it correctly, I would have answered it without comment. Had you asked (as it is in the Greek) “If you are baptized in the name of the father, AND OF THE Son, AND OF THE Holy Ghost, whose follower are you?” (Emphasis mine.) That’s easy. I AM HIS follower. Praise HIS name. Blessings, Taleb |
