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: YES THIS WAS A REVELATION AFTER THE APOSTLES RECEIVED THE HOLY GHOST ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST. THEY REALIZED THAT THE FATHER HAS A NAME,(JOHN 5:43-46)THE SON HAS A NAME(WHICH IS JESUS) ,AND THE HOLY GHOST HAS A NAME(JOHN 14:25-27). JESUS AND GOD ARE ONE IN THE SAME. |
