The Error is Baptism in Jesus name only for salvation

Ok, here are some more. Understand that nowhere in scripture do we explicitly read the word 'Trinity' but it is implied in numerous places

Genesis. God state let US make man in OUR image. He was not addressing angels or we would all have wings. We are tripartite beings, body, soul and spirit which we (when I say we I mean those who adhere to the belief in the Trinity which are most Christians and Bible scholars) illustrative of God in three persons, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. I Cor. 8:6

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. II Cor. 13:14

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance. I Peter 1: 1-2

So there's a start for you. However, you should research this doctrine and see and find for yourself. That way, you will be either convinced or not convinced. You (everyone) should get into the habit of doing research and not just depend on others to fill them in

You are literally saying 2 different things here. One cancels the other. Please study the doctrine for yourself and stop guessing

As much as I agree with the Verses you have provided none of them tell us one way or another if these are persons. I believe they are Spirit because the WORD before manifesting into flesh was obviously Spirit. And the Old Testament Christophanies were clearly manifestations.


Look at the Hebrew: [I am Hebrew and reason I am asking these questions]

24 Then Hashem rained upon Sodom and upon Amora gofrit and eish from Hashem out of Shomayim;

This is saying the same God is in 2 places at one time. In one place on Earth while also being in Heaven.

I am just mentioning this because God can be Himself while being 2 representatives and it doesn't mean more than one entity being God.

These are the words God gave to Moses to prove He is Hashem [Elohim].

I disagree.

My example proves what the Bible says about God does manifest Himself where it never calls God persons.

Oh. I thought you were actually asking something.

Good on yah. Live and learn. Now I know

The issue is the legalism they use to control people with a teaching that is used in One supporting text or verse Acts 2:38

Yet remember it is not only being baptized in Jesus' name, you must speak in tongues too or you're not saved.

The Concept of the Trinity that they says they don't agree with fail to acknowledge that those of us who see the Trun9ie God in Scripture will confess we can not fully comprehend the full Divine Nature of GOD. Some here think they can. Pride and modes, and manifestations of all in one are not supported by the word of GOD Unless you can say I know all there is to know about The Living GOD.

Man is limited and our ability to know God and the Eternal Godhead can only be achieved in the venues God provides. Because we are limited.

Here are the only ways :

1. General Revelation by what God created Roman chapter 1:18-20

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,



2. Special Revelation The word of God


Hebrews chapter 1, verses 1 and 2, describes how this special revelation has occurred:

So what we’re being told here is that God has specially revealed Himself by speaking to us: first through the Old Testament prophets but most recently through His Son Jesus Christ. This is special revelation: a specific revealing of what God is like, to a particular people.
There’s only so much you can tell about an artist from the things he’s created. To really get to know him, we’d need to meet him.

That’s why Jesus is the ultimate example of special revelation.”

3. Relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God

That is it. You can know no more and receive no less.

Paul literally says...since you believed. How can you say he didn't think they were believers?

But Christ was before the Body of Jesus came to be.

The external manifestation attested to the Holy Spirit having come to dwell inside the individuals. Consider the following if this were not true:

How did Paul expect the 12 to know whether they had received the Holy Ghost or not?
Note: after their experience there would be no difficulty in answering: Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?

How did the Samaritans know that had not received the Holy Ghost yet?

Why did Jesus say to ask for the Holy Ghost if in fact believers already have the Holy Ghost?

How would Jesus' listeners know whether or not they needed to ask for the Holy Ghost?

Again, the question is: Are those baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit saved? Yes or no?

Jesus is what we must go through to be saved,

From what was Noah saved? Noah was saved From physical destruction by water. From what are we saved ( by baptism)? We are saved From SPIRITUAL destruction by water. Type and anti type. He used a physical example to teach a spiritual truth. Not the first time the Spirit teaches this way.

The external manifestation attested to the Holy Spirit having come to dwell inside the individuals. Consider the following if this were not true:

How did Paul expect the 12 to know whether they had received the Holy Ghost or not?
Note: after their experience there would be no difficulty in answering: Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?

How did the Samaritans know that had not received the Holy Ghost yet?

Why did Jesus say to ask for the Holy Ghost if in fact believers already have the Holy Ghost?

How would Jesus' listeners know whether or not they needed to ask for the Holy Ghost?

An external manifestation of the Spirit only verifies the presence of the Spirit. It doesn't verify an indwelling presence. Everyone present at Pentecost knew something was going on. Not all were indwelt with the Spirit.

What a vague and uncertain generalization of the Gospel.

We don't need baptism for the remission of sins because "Jesus is what we must go through to be saved"?

Is this your reasoning?

Do you think this way about everything?

In your world is a definitive always negated by a generalization?

No one can operate this way.

IOW, you are using this reasoning only to ignore the true purpose of water baptism.

I never said water baptism excluded the necessity to believe in Jesus, and repent. The topic being addressed is whether baptism in Jesus name is necessary for salvation.

Too bad you could not ask the Disciples the same question because they didn't baptize according to Matthew 28:19 either.
