One means singular yes.
“
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith,
one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”
Ephesians 4:4-6 KJV
Do you know what connects all those things ?
“There
one body, ( of Christ
) and
one Spirit, ( of Christ ) even as ye are called in
one hope of your calling;
one Lord,(
Jesus Christ )
one faith, ( the faith of
Jesus Christ )
one baptism,” ( in the
name of Jesus Christ )
brother we are
Christian’s . Part of our belief is that
Jesus Christ is the
full manifestation of God in the flesh.
Are there other names that lead to salvation ?
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for
there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”
Acts 4:12 KJV
There’s just one of everything in the nt brother one lord Jesus , one Hope of eternal life in Jesus , one baptism in Jesus name .
why only Jesus ?
because only jesus ….
“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt
call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21 KJV
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was
buried, and that
he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
Why his name only ?
“And
whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father
by him.”
Colossians 3:17
“He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.”
John 1:10, 12-13 KJV
why does it matter
“These things have I written unto you that
believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”
1 John 5:13
“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in
his Son Jesus Christ.
This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:20 KJV
his Son ( his title )
Jesus ( his name )
Christ. (Another title )
our Gods name isn’t “ the father the son and the Holy Ghost “
his name is
singular and one
This isn’t telling us “the name “ but instructing then to baptize “ in the name of “ and giving three titles
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of
the Father, and of
the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost:”
Matthew 28:19 KJV
This tells us the actual name they baptized into singular
“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.”
Acts 2:38 KJV
the name of Jesus Christ
the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of
the Holy Ghost:”
these aren’t four different names we can be baptized into the only name shown there in those verses is
Jesus because in him
“For
in him ( Jesus ) dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
Colossians 2:9 KJV
It’s the only name we’re ever given in tbe nt for God.is my opinion . But I stated before Godnisnt about technicalities and disqualifying anyone .
The correct doctrine and name is Jesus I don’t tho my gays really in question
however it’s not my position that God is going to hold what a pastor didn’t understand who baptized someone against the person who was baptized because they believed in Jesus
I’m just discussing what’s correct . The holt ghost isnt a name it’s a title for the
spirit of Jesus Christ we receive when we believe the gospel like this
“Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: but
in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.
The word which God sent unto the children of Israel,
preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all
……..And he
commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. While
Peter yet spake these words,
the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.”
Acts 10:34-36, 42-44 KJV
that last part could read “ the spirit of Jesus Christ” fell upon all who hears the word or the “spirit of God “ fell upon them “ but notice peters forst command is for them to get
baptized in the name of the lord Jesus
“C
an any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have
received the Holy Ghost as well as we? And
he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.”
Acts 10:47-48 KJV
My point is simple If i say name of Gods son ,, name of the father and the son and the Holy Ghost , name of the lord ,…..the name is always
Jesus he’s the savior who died for our sins that’s why we get baptized in his name for remission of sins when we believe the gospel ……
The name Jesus is really really really important in the doctrine of the nt. I’m not sure I canmake any more of an argument
i would just ask someone what’s another name of Jesus name isn’t the only one ?
“The son” isn’t a name but we have surely established the sons
name is Jesus. so what’s the other actual names bedsides
Jesus , who died for our sins , we can be baptized into for remission of our sins ?
If we can’t come up with another name that tends to lean towards Jesus being the only name
just an old fools thoughts though nothing official or anything g others need to agree with just discussing and offering my thought and what I’ve learned over time and prayer and study I can’t think of another name
