Bible Question: Apparently the apostles baptized in the name of Jesus. Was this a revelation from the Holy Spirit after Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? |
Bible Answer: Hi Charis, I commend you on your study of the scriptures on the baptizm in Jesus name.Yes, the apostles did get it right.You have to remember that when Jesus said in Matthew 28:19 to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit.He was talking to the apostles,and not to the general public.They knew that this name is Jesus. You do need God to reveal it to you.But, it have been my experience that this come usually after one have been obedient to his Word. |
