Why would you be baptized in the words, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit?

The proper form of baptism is in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as Jesus designated in Matt. 28:19, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit."  The clear command of Jesus is to baptize this way.  But, if that is so, then why do we see so many instances in the New Testament where people were baptized "in Jesus' name"? \n\nThe reason they were baptizing "in the name of Jesus" is not because it was a formula, but because the phrase, "in the name of" means "in the authority of.  We can see proof of this in Acts 4:7-10,\n\n"And when they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, 'By what power, or in what name, have you done this?' 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, 'Rulers and elders of the people, 9 if we are on trial today for a benefit done to a sick man, as to how this man has been made well, 10 let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead—by this name this man stands here before you in good health.'"\n\n     The Jews asked "by what power, or in what name, have you done this?"  Peter answers and says that it was in the name of Jesus, that they had healed.  In other words, "in the name of Jesus" means that it is by the power and authority found in Christ.\n\nThe only bible that disputes Matthew 28:19 is the New World Translation bible. That Bible was mis-translated and changed by the Jw cult. No bible scholar or language expert takes that bible serious.

"God"  He is the Father, Son(Jesus), And Holy Spirit. Jesus told his disciples he would return to them through the Holy spirit God is the Holy Spirit. They are all the same One God.  God Bless!!

Baptism is to remove original sin which was thrust upon us by Adam and Eve.  If your child (God Forbid) was to die, it would go on to heaven after baptism instead of pergatory.  When you are Baptised, it wipes away all sin.

The Holy Trinity is the Father (God), the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit. However, these three persons, although separate are also one. 1 John 2:23 says "Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also." This basically means that the Father and Son are equal. It also says this several other places in the Bible. The Great Commission also tells us to baptize believers in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. So, in conclusion, they are one and the same.

I do.\n\nI would go with the Baptism. . . I was Baptized (Confirmed and recieved my first Eucharist) last year at the Easter Vigil (Yes, I am a Catholic Convert) and it means a lot to me.\n\nAs I was being Baptized, and the Priest said those wonderful words "I Baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit", I heard, in my heart, someone say "Welcome Home".  I know it wasn't the Priest or anyone around me - can't explain it, but I know, deep down, that it was God talking to me.  (I know, it sounds weird and "preachy" but it happened.)\n\nAll of them are very special, and more people should be moved by the events that go on.

You must remember that recieving the Holy Spirit and being Baptized or Filled with the Holy Spirit are 2 different events that took/take place.  If they both meant the same thing then why did Jesus breathe on them and told them to receive the Holy Spirit and then command them to wait on the Promise of the Father (Baptism of the Holy Spirit).  When one recieve's Christ he is now born again and Spirit of God(Holy Spirit, Jesus) now resides in them.  Which means they now have access to the promises of God's Word (means other things as well-but i'm focusing on a point).  But, when a person is filled with the Holy Ghost or has been Baptized in the Holy Ghost, the evidence of them being filled is Power. Jesus said in (Acts 1v8), But you shall recieve power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you...

I was baptized as a baby in a traditional church and as an adult in a Charismatic church.  Next trip to Israel, I may do it again in the Jordan.  Not that I feel  I need to, but just thought it would be nice and honorable to the Lord Jesus.  He did it as an adult.\nI Cr 13;8a\n11-19-6

The trinity is in the Bible. Jesus said that he was ascending to his Father and would send the Holy Spirit in his place.\n\nDoes it matter? Well, yeah. When you accept salvation, you come to better know God the Father through Christ's mercy, and part of how you come to know God better is by heeding the guidance of the Holy Spirit, which is sent to you once you accept Christ.\n\nAs for whether or not you can still be saved if you don't believe this, it's a moot point. If you accept salvation, you will be sent the Holy Spirit, and you will--if you heed that guidance--come to know God the Father better. That is, whether you believe this beforehand or not, it is what will happen in your life if you are earnestly seeking the will of God.

God, the Son and the Holy Spirit are three separate beings with different roles, one in purpose. They make the Godhead or the Trinity. You can read this understand it clearly:\n\n... I would that ye should understand that God himself shall come down among the children of men, and shall redeem his people.\n \n2 And because he dwelleth in flesh he shall be called the Son of God, and having subjected the flesh to the will of the Father, being the Father and the Son—\n\n3 The Father, because he was conceived by the power of God; and the Son, because of the flesh; thus becoming the Father and Son—\n\n4 And they are one God, yea, the very Eternal Father of heaven and of earth.\n\n5 And thus the flesh becoming subject to the Spirit, or the Son to the Father, being one God, suffereth temptation, and yieldeth not to the temptation, but suffereth himself to be mocked, and scourged, and cast out, and disowned by his people.\n\n6 And after all this, after working many mighty miracles among the children of men, he shall be led, yea, even as Isaiah said, as a sheep before the shearer is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.\n\n7 Yea, even so he shall be led, crucified, and slain, the flesh becoming subject even unto death, the will of the Son being swallowed up in the will of the Father.\n\n8 And thus God breaketh the bands of death, having gained the victory over death; giving the Son power to make intercession for the children of men—\n\n9 Having ascended into heaven, having the bowels of mercy; being filled with compassion towards the children of men; standing betwixt them and justice; having broken the bands of death, taken upon himself their iniquity and their transgressions, having redeemed them, and satisfied the demands of justice.\n\nThe Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.\n\n23 A man may receive the Holy Ghost, and it may descend upon him and not tarry with him.

Nicodemus did not understand the things Jesus was telling him at the time, thus his question on can a man go back into his mothers womb.  Jesus was not talking about the physical birth but a spiritual one.  One must be born again of water and the Spirit.  In other words, we must be baptized by water signifying the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus whom you accept as your sacrifice for your sin.  Death of the old man of sin and the rebirth of the new man with the new heart.  Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, which can be any of a number of gifts but He knows the one that is right for you and you may get more than one or just one or just one as you need it.  The Holy Spirit will lead you in the way He wants you to go so we just need to have faith and trust in Him to lead and be sure to follow the lead where He takes us.  Old Nic thought Jesus was talking about the physical, fleshly things but He was talking about the Spiritual, which is why you need the Holy Spirit to understand the Spiritual side of it all.  Hope this helps.. More info at the following site.

Friend, the trinity doctine will always dis-agreed with there is only One God, They try to make Jesus God, when they do that then they are saying God Died. I was once myself a trinity when I first got saved in 1970, The Godhead is the very first thing God revealed to me. If those Trinity believers, can prove that anyone in the bible were ever baptized in the TITLES of the father, son, & holy ghost, I would like to see it, Everyone that was baptized was Baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Because they are dumb and don't understand why Jesus told us to baptise:\n\n1Pe 3:21  Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

I was Baptized in the river Jordan, but not all people can do that.  It cost a lot of money to get it arranged, and they have to get the Priest the family and their guest there, and then they have a gathering, a party after ward, it cost a lot.  These days it cost too much, it is not very safe, and the river is drying out, not enough rain.  It is in the desert after all,\n\nI think some churches still do that, not all of course.  The reason is, because Baptism now down inside the church, and it is easier to pour the water over the head, and then anoint the person with oil after ward.  That is the only difference, but all the procedures and the words are the same.\n\nIt does not matter how a person is being Baptize.  Whether they are immerse in the water, or sprinkled with it as you might wrong think, or poured the water over their head.  What matter is receiving the Baptizim itself.  \n\nIN the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.

because of original sin we were in a state of open rebellion to God and His holy will, and so we were marked from birth with this sin of pride and rebellion.\nbut by our baptism we are cleansed of this original sin and even it`s stain and we are united in holy friendship with God and become members of the Body of Christ, and even more we also become potential heirs to the kingdom of God.

Being baptized won't saved you. Baptism is just an act of obidience. There's more to it to be save. First, someone have to understand the nature of their sin . Then repent, and put their trust in Jesus.
