AMPLIFIED 2015 | Acts 2:38 And Peter said to them, "Repent [change your old way of thinking, turn from your sinful ways, accept and follow Jesus as the Messiah] and be baptized, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ because of the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. |
Subject: Jesus' name baptism? |
Bible Note: Harmonizer, I dont beleive that Peter, or any of the apostles went around dunking people and chanting the name of Jesus every time someone was baptized. Nor do I beleive that they spoke the words "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." The word "IN", means "INTO" in the text you are refuring to. I do totaly agree with the FACT that the name of Jesus is the name for the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. I beleive that we are baptized INTO the name of Jesus. We put on Christ at baptism through faith by speaking out with our mouths that we are sinners. Am I saved by what some other person says over me, or by what God hears with MY mouth? What if they pronounce the name of Jesus wrong, or in a differant language other than Hebrew. Does It still count. And If we are baptized wrong, then add it to the list of the rest of the things i do wrong. Because were sin abounds grace does much more abound. There is no abra-cadabra at baptism, just the intent of your heart. Just my thoughts, Matt |
