THE NAME OF JESUS (SIXTH PART)

The name of Jesus (Sixth part)


Verse of the day: Matthew 28:19 “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

 

Yesterday we ended the meditation by saying that a child of God must acknowledge Jesus before men because if I disown Him before men, He will disown me before His Father in heaven.

This morning I wish to talk about baptism in the name of Jesus because I noticed that there is a huge confusion among God’s children.

All started with a doctrine saying that any baptism that is not done in the name of Jesus is a wrong baptism. People justify this by leaning of the verse of the day (Matt 28:19) when Jesus said to the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. They say that everywhere in the New Testament, all the baptisms have been done in the name of Jesus and not in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

 

Let’s take the example of Acts 2:38 “Peter replied: Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit

Let’s try to discover the revelation on the subject in order to avoid all kind of confusion.

Let’s first examine the verse of the day: “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt 28:19)

Jesus did not ask to baptize the disciples in the names (Plural) of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit but rather in the name (Singular)…which means that He wasn’t talking about three names but only one name.

 

Baptism is a sign of obedience by accepting to die and to rise up with Jesus and what counts is the faith with which we do it. Therefore, if one person is baptized in the name of Jesus and another person is baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, both are baptized according to the command of the Lord.

 

Here is the end of the meditation of the week and this is what must be remembered the most: we need to pray in order to get the revelation of the powerful name of Jesus because without it, it’s almost impossible to get a spiritual victory.

 

All that power in the name of Jesus is only possible if you take the decision of accepting Him as your Lord and Savior. If it’s the case for you, write to me

 

Enjoy your weekend
