Baptism In Jesus Name from Tambe Nkongho's blog

                                  Acts 2:38

''If names are not correct,language will not be in accordance with truth of things.''

     - Confucius.

In Bible land,a name was the description of character(1 Samuel 25:25)It Stands for authority(Mark 16:17,Luke 10: 17). People carefully selected the names the gave to their children and things.God also Chosed  the names He gave to people  and answered Himself.

There is difference between a name and a title.God attach honor,glory,Power,and authority to His name and not titles.God has only of name,that is Jesus,many titles.Father is not a Name,Son is not a name,Holy Spirit is not a name but offices,ministry,function of Jesus(Isaiah 52:6,Zechariah 14:9).

The English Word Baptism is taken from a Greek Word ''Baptizo''(Greek Verb),meaning to immerse,to dip,to Plunge.Not pouring or Sprinkling of water(John 3:23,Act 8:37-38].

 We Baptism is to be administered to repented people.(Acts 2:38,Mark 16:16)

Baptism is not to be administered to infants because they have not reach the age of accountability(Acts 8:37,1 Peter 3:21).

Baptism is to be performed in the Name of Jesus Christ(Not Father,Son,and the Holy Ghost)for the forgiveness of sins(Remission of Sins)Baptism Saves(1 peter 3:20-21,mark 16:16). In the water of baptism,God carries out a redemptive work.Our sins are cut off and purge with the blood of Jesus and cleanse during Water Baptism.

We are buried with Christ by baptism in Jesus name (Romans 6,Col 2:12)we put on Christ and becomes heaven citizen.Salvation is only in the name of Jesus Christ Acts 4:12.tsnkongho@gmail.com
