Subject: In the name? vs In the Titles? |
Bible Note: Ok then why over and over in acts does it say be baptized in Jesus name? And being arrested in the name of the law, still that tells me in what name I am being arrested. Further more baptism is a deed right? Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Jesus said that. Here are some more. There is no record of anyone being baptized any other way. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. **Now he just said to be baptized in Jesus name so in verse 41 what name do you honestly think they were baptized in? RIGHT after this discussion.** Acts 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Acts 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done. Acts 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.) **This scripture tells me 2 things. 1 that it is not enough to believe and be baptized there is more. The Holy Ghost the joy that comes with it. That is it. 2 Baptism in Jesus name was always a Prerequisite to the infilling of the Holy Ghost. And in Acts how did they know they had received the Holy Ghost? They heard them speak with tongues. We have a lady in our church that use to be in a specific denomination, and they didn't believe in the Holy Ghost or baptism in Jesus name. And she told God she said "I don't understand is this all that you have? What about the joy and peace? I want that." And God led her to a Pentecostal Church Praise God! And when she got filled with the Holy Ghost like the bible says speaking in tongues and we re baptized her, because she had been baptized in the "Titles" she came out of the water and all she could do was cry and say "this is real this is real I feel a difference." I can believe on Jesus all day, but that is not what will save me in the end. James 2:19-20 Since the devils believe are they saved? but that's a different discussion for another time. (just a thought)** Acts 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days. Acts 19:3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. Acts 19:4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. |
