In The name of the Father , Son and Holy Ghost

[KingdomBrat]

I just get sick of it at times. It saddens me to view God as Triune and that alone aligns me up with the 2,000 years of Trinitarians Lying, Deceiving, Murdering, Forging, becoming a Conglomeration, and then we add Television Preachers and Churches + it was the Trinitarians who allowed HOMOSEXUALS TO BECOME LEADERS/VOICES OF REASON/SAME SEX ACCEPTANCE.

The literal dirt and sin in our Churches stem from Trinitarians!

We make fun of the ONENESS and the best we got on them is having Jesus praying to Himself like a skitzo.

Us Trinitarians have a long dark hidden history and I cannot find God in any of it the MAJORITY of times.

That one verse is more than enough to establish the truth about Christian baptism and the Holy Trinity. Those are the recorded words of the Risen Lord just before His ascension to Heaven. Something not to be dismissed lightly.

And all the Greek manuscripts have this as genuine Scripture. Therefore ABSOLUTELY EVERY TRANSLATION has that verse, and both the Critical and the Received texts have it also.

CRITICAL TEXT
πορευθέντες οὖν μαθητεύσατε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη, βαπτίζοντες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος,

RECEIVED TEXT
πορευθέντες οὖν μαθητεύσατε πάντα τὰ ἔθνη βαπτίζοντες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος

God is one, yet eternally present as three divine persons -- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Christian baptism is in the Name of the Godhead, since there are three that bear witness (or record) in Heaven -- the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost (1 John 5:7). And these three are ONE.

The triune Godhead is presented in the first verse of the Bible, where the Hebrew word Elohim is a uniplural word. Thus God said "Let US make man in OUR image, and in OUR likeness". And since the Holy Trinity was present at the baptism of Christ, it is more than fitting that true believers be baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Indeed some Christian groups go so far as to practice "trine-immersion" -- three immersions, one for each person within the Godhead.

Oh dear forgive me Lord but you are as thick as a brick. You NEVER, NEVER, NEVER form a doctrine with one verse of scripture. Let me say that again. You NEVER, NEVER, NEVER form a doctrtine from one verse of scripture.

The other point is that the New Testament Church disagrees with you. If anyone should know they should.
