What is Heresy?

[CrowCross]

Jesus gives us the formula for baptism:
". . .baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Hoy Spirit" (Mt 28:19).

What did Paul say in Acts 2:38?

 

[David Lamb]

What did Paul say in Acts 2:38?

Paul said absolutely nothing in Acts 2:38:

“Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Ac 2:38 NKJV)

As to why Peter said, "be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ," I agree with what John Gill wrote in his commentary on that verse: "in the name of Jesus Christ; not to the exclusion of the Father, and of the Spirit, in whose name also this ordinance is to be administered, Mt 28:19 but the name of Jesus Christ is particularly mentioned, because of these Jews, who had before rejected and denied him as the Messiah; but now, upon their repentance and faith, they are to be baptized in his name, by his authority, according to his command; professing their faith in him, devoting themselves to him, and calling on his name."

You're right it was Peter. "in the name of Jesus Christ;

I also agree with Gill.

Your point?

Your point?

Whether you say baptise in the name of JC or F,S & HS doesn't matter.

Baptism doesn't save....it just a public confession.

Baptism corresponds to circumcision (Col 2:11-12), neither of which saves.

Huh, it's a little more than that. What happened to it being a sign and a seal?

Do you have a verse?

I agree.....neither save.

But, explain how circumcision corresponds to baptism. Where is it in the verse?
11 In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands. 12 And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

Before presenting a verse, do you disagree that it is a sign and a seal?
