Subject: Does Jesus' name satisfy Matt 28:19? |
Bible Note: Dear Tim, Greetings in the name of Jesus! I have to disagree with you here. The Bible does not say that the saints baptized in the Book of Acts while *saying the words* "in the name of Jesus." This is irreverent. I guess that you are trying to 'prove' that *saying the formula* "in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" is the true and correct way to baptize. They were baptized in the name of Jesus, exactly as our Bible says. Your argument that 'it is not recorded but it does not mean it was not done' is pretty thin logic. That could be said about virtually anything! Finally, the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is not *their* name. Those are His names! I believe very much in the Triune nature of God, sometimes called the Trinity. But God is One. This is where that 'Oneness' folks say we believe in three Gods. Blessings and peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
