-------------------
All over this city, state, country and world there are churches baptizing by calling out the father, son and Holy Ghost.
But what they don't understand is in Matthew 28:19 Jesus is telling us exactly what to do, not exactly what to say.
Let me explain, there isn’t a single place in the word of God that someone was baptized with the statement “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
Not one, Not even close.
But if you asked me to show you one place in the bible that they baptized someone in the Name of Jesus, I’ll show you at least 4 places.
Peter tells everyone in Jerusalem
Acts 2:38 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. 3000 that gladly heard this were baptized.
Phillip, Peter and John in Samaria
Acts 8:15-17 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Peter at the House of Cornelius
Acts 10:45-48 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.
46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?
48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord.
Paul found some disciples of John the Baptist
Acts 19:5 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.
I’ll through in a bonus scripture – Paul’s baptism – Ananias
Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
In case all that isn’t clear:
Colossians 3:17 Paul says That everything we do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Romans 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
