Bible Question:
I was raised as baptist and was baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I have recently been attending a pentecostal church, and the topic of Baptism emerged. Can someone tell me: 1) Why does the Pentecostal faith focus on the references in Acts - Acts 2:38, Acts 8:12, Acts 8:16, Acts 10:48, Acts 19:5 that points to baptising in the name of Jesus? Instead of following the direction given by JESUS Himself to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? Matthew 28:19 2) Is there a difference? 3) Can ones' salvation be in question if one was batized in one way over the other? Thank you |
Bible Answer: At my church I was recently (about a year and a half ago) baptized. In the name of Jesus AND in the Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. The way it was explained to me was although churches difer from time to time in the way they baptize the process is still valid, as long as your heart is right. If you know that you are doing it as a kind of resurection with a new heart for GOD and His son Jesus, there is no way that a simple technicality should stand in your way of your coming closer to Jesus. But remember... if you dont emerge from the water with a renewed heart then you simply just got wet. |
