Jesus: baptize into the name of the three.

UPC: no, Jesus didn’t really mean what He said - you must baptize into one name, ONLY.


Matthew 28:19 isn't the only account of the great commission...

Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
[4] And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
[48] And ye are witnesses of these things.
[49] And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
[50] And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

[51] And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven.
[52] And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:


They return to Jerusalem and are filled with the Holy Ghost, and when this is noised abroad this is what happens...

Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
[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.


In fact, let me encourage you to do a word search for Father, Son, Holy Ghost and you will discover there is only one (1) hit - because Jesus was telling them what to go and do, not that they should repeat those words at baptism. Ask yourself why are there no accounts of anyone being baptized with repeating the words of Matthew 28:18

You don’t have a clue what THE LIKE FIGURE means, do you?

So you just ignore that they are there and focus on ‘now saves you’.

‘The like figure’ is an antitype.

That means the verse says the opposite of what you think it means.
No, like figure is like figure...not opposite.

It says BAPTISM DOTH NOW SAVE US.

You think it says baptism DOTH NOT save us.

Naughty boy.

Okay, finally, someone says the name of the son is "Jesus".(It is like pulling teeth)

Whew.

Okay, what is the name of the son that Jesus was speaking of per the Matt 28:19 baptism command by Jesus?

"Son", or "Jesus"?...

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

If you say "Jesus", you are a potential part of the Acts 2 church.

If you say "son", you are part of the RCC.

Your catechism may state that. However it is not scripture.

matt 28:19-20

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

and Jesus is the truth! Jn 14:6

How does that prove your statement, saying...

"baptism is only valid in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit"


Why do you say this is NOT valid...

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.

Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Jesus Christ savior

but a baptism is only valid in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit
You just told me that the name of the son is Jesus but you don't baptize in the name of the son.

......Unless, you Catholics think the name of the son is "son".

I honestly think you guys think Jesus' name is son, per your parroting of Matt 28:19 and failure to actually obey it.

cos Christ is truth itself and commands baptism in the Trinitarian form Matt 28:19

acts 2:38 the command to be baptized is given in the name of Jesus, not the baptism itself

Then please explain why nobody in the Bible was ever baptized having the Mat 28:19 words spoken over them.

it does not need be in the Bible

the Bible is not the rule of faith for Christians Christ and his church are and the church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles has for two thousand years obeyed Christ and baptized in the Matt 29:19 form

As a matter of fact, I will give my 2013 GMC Sierra hybrid to anyone that can post a verse in the NT that actually shows someone being baptized in the titles.

All I can find are folks in the NT being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

The truck is worth about 20,000 bucks.

Produce the verse and come and get it, folks.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born(what is this child's name), unto us a son is given(what is the son's name): and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name(JESUS) shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

These two scriptures are in harmony as they are revealing the name is Jesus!

How to be saved (born again) and join the family of God!!!

Romans: Chapter 10 verse 9-10-13 GOD SAYS=

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him
from the dead, thou shalt be Saved. For with the heart man
believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession
is made unto Salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the
name of the Lord shall be Saved....................

---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

An example prayer for those that have never talked to God!

Heavenly Father:........................................... ...............................
I come to you in prayer asking for the forgiveness of
my Sins. I confess with my mouth and believe with my
heart that Jesus is your Son, And that he died on the
Cross at Calvary that I might be forgiven and have
Eternal Life in the Kingdom of Heaven. Father, I believe
that Jesus rose from the dead and I ask you right now
to come in to my life and be my personal Lord and
Savior. I repent of my Sins and will Worship you all the
day's of my Life!. Because your word is truth, I confess
with my mouth that I am Born Again and Cleansed
by the Blood of Jesus! In Jesus Name, Amen
