ok well this has been on my mind for the whole day so just wanted to show everyone what the scripture said on this matter, is the right baptism necessary for receiving the holy spirit and your salvation, can the wrong baptism keep you from receiving the holy spirit? let us take a look into the holy word of God for the answer, he that has an ear to hear let him hear, and may God show you the right thing to do through his holy word,
now notice what Jesus said before he departed
Matthew 28:19
King James Version (KJV)
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:
now notice here that in name here is singular, it is not literally telling you to do it in father son holy spirit, and who is that name? Jesus Christ, but don't take my word for it brothers and sisters, i want you to notice now... pay very close attention to this, after Jesus had commanded the disciples to do this, notice this is after Jesus had left the earth and went to be at the right side of our Father God
Acts 2:37-38
King James Version (KJV)
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.
do you see what i mean that " in the name " was singular and what it really meant don't take my word for it, it is right there for you to see, and notice NOT ONE PERSON in the bible was baptized in the name of the father son and holy spirit, if you can show me that i will admit that i am wrong, but if you can't just follow the word not my sayings i'm only pointing it out, NOW to the important question can having the WRONG baptism cause you not receive the holy spirit? now listen to this God does not change, if he did something one way back in the day it MUST be the same exact thing in THIS day, lets go to God's holy word to find the answer
Acts 19:2
King James Version (KJV)
2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
i want you to look closely at this now, NOTICE they BELIEVED in Jesus, but DID not receive the holy ghost, why was that? let's see the next question that was asked brothers and sisters
Acts 19:3
King James Version (KJV)
3 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism.
do you see where the question ended up? unto WHAT then were ye baptized, and they said John's baptism,
Acts 19:4-6
King James Version (KJV)
4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Do you see it friends? how important the right baptism is? AS THEY WERE baptized in Jesus Name they RECEIVE the holy ghost, now.. if back in the day the people had to be baptized in Jesus name, then the holy spirit came on them, when they were baptized in the name of Jesus christ, it WILL be the SAME exact thing THIS DAY, i pray that this may touch someone's heart and let them rethink things, he that have an ear to hear let him hear! God bless everyone
