Matthew 28:19-20
" Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
" Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age " Amen.
Notice how our Lord Jesus here in the great commission tells the apostles how to baptize, and then tells them we are to observe all He commanded. So did He say to be baptized, YES.

No, No, No not again. Mat 28 is not water baptism. Water is not essential to salvation. Holy Spirit baptism is essential to salvation. Mat 28 is immersion in doctrine not water nor Holy Spirit. You make disciples by teaching them doctrine not by baptism.
So many water baptism threads and so much wrong information.

Yes, Mk 16:18; Acts 2:38; 1 Pet 3:21
Yes, baptize is an immersion.
No. "In the name of" means by the authority/approval of and is not some formula that has to be recited over the one being baptized. The one who has submitted himself to being baptized needs to understand that he is being baptized by the authority of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit and is not submitting to baptism by his own, or any other man's, authority.
“The meaning of baptism in the name of Jesus varies slightly according to the Greek preposition used. In Acts 2:38 Peter exhorted the Jews to repent and be baptized in or upon (epi) the name of Jesus Christ, resting upon His authority and being devoted to Him. Later Peter instructed Cornelius to be baptized in (en) the name of Jesus Christ, acting on His authority [Acts 10:48]. Three passages use eis (Mt. 28:19; Acts 8:16; 19:5) plus the parallel phrase ‘baptized into Christ’ (Rom. 6:3; Gal. 3:27). A study of these verses along with the verb baptizo and eis in 1 Cor. 1:13; 10:2; 12:13 indicates that the one baptized is identified with Christ (or Paul or Moses) and passes into new ownership or partnership with Him, with new loyalty and fellowship” (Wycliffe Bible Dictionary, C.F. Pfeiffer, H. F. Vos, John Rea, eds., Peabody, MA, 2003, p. 1176).
So when baptized one comes into the ownership of Christ.

The one who has submitted himself to being baptized needs to understand that he is being baptized by the authority of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit and is not submitting to baptism by his own, or any other man's, authority.

So when baptized one comes into the ownership of Christ.
No. The New Testament makes it clear that we are saved through believing in Him/faith prior to receiving water baptism (John 3:16,18; Acts 10:43; 13:39; 16:31; Romans 1:16; 3:24-26; 4:5-6; Ephesians 2:8,9 etc..). In Acts 10:43-47, we see that these Gentiles received the Holy Spirit and were manifesting the gifts of the Spirit after believing the gospel prior to water baptism (Acts 10:48). This observation must be balanced, however, by the fact that baptism was not considered an "optional extra" for these Gentiles; it was a command that they were expected to obey. However, it was not obedience to this command that saved them, but believing in Christ (Acts 10:43). Baptism is the initial outward response to the gospel, but it is not a part of the gospel itself (1 Corinthians 1:17; 15:3,4).
There are a number of prooftexts which are often cited to prove that the Bible makes baptism mandatory for salvation. Some of the most common such prooftexts are Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38 and 1 Peter 3:21. A careful examination of each of these texts in context will show that none of them prove that baptism is a necessary prerequisite for salvation, though they do prove that baptism was an assumed initiatory response to the gospel of salvation. In other words, these texts prove only that baptism is regularly associated with conversion and salvation, rather than absolutely required for salvation. NOWHERE does the Bible say that whoever is not water baptized will be condemned/not be saved. Yet, whoever does not believe will be condemned/not be saved (John 3:18). Salvation is signified, yet not procured in water baptism.
Yes, immersion.
Jesus said...baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19) but as the book of Acts shows, baptizing in the name of Jesus is also done (Acts 2:38; 8:12; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5).

No. There are no such scriptures. ALL were baptized in Jesus name. The only place in the Bible whereby we see "Father, Son, Holy Ghost" is ...
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:
However, this is a commandment and NOT an actual baptism taking place. No one here is being baptized, but only receiving the command. Jesus is telling them what to do, not what to repeat verbatim. If I told my son to go to the store and buy groceries, and he says to the clerk "I want to buy groceries", he is only repeating the command, and not fulfilling the command. A Biblical baptism is to baptize as they did in the book of Acts, which is by immersion and in Jesus name.
God bless!

Bapto is generally accepted to refer to water while Baptizo is used for Holy Spirit baptism. In the context of the verse neither seem to fit and the following verse is stressing teaching which is doctrine. One can be immersed in doctrine and remain there just like a sunken ship. Seems like one must force anything else to make it work.

What you mean to say is neither seem to "fit" your doctrine right? He didn't say Go ye therefore and teach all nations in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. You can't just act like the word "baptizing" isn't there. He said to baptize them in the NAME of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Men cannot baptize anyone with the Spirit so that obviously is not what he was commanding them. He was commanding them to baptize people in WATER and to do it in JESUS' NAME!
There was not one individual that was baptized in the TITLES Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in the bible. Yet we all believe that the apostles obeyed the commandment of Jesus in Matt 28:19 right? So if they obeyed him, but never baptized anyone in the titles Father, Son, Holy Ghost, then how did they baptize people? Well lets take a look!
Acts 2:28 Peter preached that EVERYONE should be baptized in JESUS Name
Acts 8:16 Phillip baptized people in JESUS Name
Acts 10:48 Peter commanded people to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Who is the Lord you ask? Acts 10:36 tells us its JESUS
Acts 19:1-5 Paul re-baptized people who had already been baptized before. But this time he did it in JESUS name
Soooooo, what is the name of the Father? JESUS! What is the name of the son? JESUS! What is the name of the Holy Ghost? JESUS!

The people in those days had thought that by doing this will make them become clean it was called immersion. But God had love this act because the people were letting Him know that they were filled with sin and are willing to become clean. But the true way of getting rid of sin, is through the Holy spirit and that is a long process.
Matthew 8:1 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. (The physical nature only has been cleansed)
Matthew 23:26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
John 15:3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Baptizo is a literal immersion and in the context of Mt 28:19,20 Jesus authorized ("in the name of") His disciples to go forth and baptize, so we have human administered water baptism in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
In Jn 4:1,2 verse 1 says Jesus baptized but verse 2 says Jesus baptized not. This is not a contradiction for Jesus did not baptize anyone personally Himself, but baptized by giving His disciples His authority to baptize in His name.

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.
[39] For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
To apply Jesus death, burial, and resurrection, we need to do exactly what Peter said to do...
1. Death = Repent
2. Burial = water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins
3. Resurrection = Holy Spirit
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
