Subject: Jesus' name baptism? |
Bible Note: Hi Joe The reason that I said Jesus told them to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost before his resurrection is because Jesus had already taught his disciples to baptize while he was here on earth. John 4:1 When therefore the Lord knew how the Pharisees had heard that Jesus made and baptized more disciples than John. John 4:2 Though Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples. Yes, you are right that Jesus tells them to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in Matt 28:19-20, but Jesus was only reinterating what he had already taught them to do in St John 3:22, St John 4:1-2. After Jesus rose from the dead, he showed the disciple many more signs which were not written in the four gospels according to John 20:30-31. Lastly, you stated, How has anyone else ever been saved for His redemptive, once-for-all atonement for sin on the Cross? Now I know that no one can be saved except through Jesus Christ and you know that, but tell me,why are there not many chruches in America preaching Jesus. Instead they are preaching money and prosperity. ATJ |
