Question is why baptize in titles instead of the name Jesus?

"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\n \nNotice it says Peter told them to be baptized "in the name of Jesus Christ."  This is right after holy spirit was given on the Day of Pentecost, ten days after Jesus ascended into heaven. \n\n\n"And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days." Acts 10:48\n \n\nNotice that Peter commanded the household of Cornelius "to be baptized in the name of the Lord."  Apparently, no one's reminded him what Jesus said, since Acts 2. \n\n\n"When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." Acts 19:5\n \nThese were the believers in Ephesus.  Notice it says, "they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." \n\n\n"For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ." Galatians 3:27\n\nNotice this is talking to those of us who "have been baptized into Christ". \n\nAccording to the evidence I've check and gathered, it's probable that Jesus and the original Matthew 28:18-20" really said, \n\nAll authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.  Go, therefore, disciple all the nations in my name, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you.  And lo, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age. \n\nIt appears that Jesus wasn't talking about baptizing at all, but rather, making disciples of all the nations in his name.\n\nThe oldest manuscripts in existence today that contain this section of Matthew say, "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit".  But, they're from the fourth century, a time when trinity was becoming an established doctrine of the Christian church.  There are only two such fourth century manuscripts, and none older.  However, They still have earlier writings that quote Matthew 28:19.\n\nJesus did not tell the disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in Matthew 28:19.  In fact, he wasn't talking about baptism at all.  Rather, he commanded them to go, disciple all the nations in his name, teaching them to observe all of his commandments.  And then he promised them that he would be with them until the end of the age.

Sure, they are called Jesus Name Only Churches, some apostolic,some pentecostal. Go to Google search, type in Jesus name only church, lots of results.\n The main doctrinal difference is that they baptise in the name of Jesus only, not in the name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy Ghost.

i prefer the term "beliver" which is what i am. i dont think there is a difference in non and un because,for example,  if someone was to say they were a non believer as opposed to an un believer it means the same thing i beieve that god created us and that he sent his son to die on the cross for our sins and that the only way to get to heaven is through jesus. once you accept him into your heart that is where he dwells inside you. and then once you have jesus you have to obey God and his rules and commandments. you do not have to go to church to be saved. church does not save you God does. the different denominations take different parts of the bible and focuse on them rather than stick to the basics. other denominations disregard part of the bible all together and others write their own version. that is why i prefer just to be a christian rather than a babtist, southern babtist, catholic, or lutherian or whatever. besides the bible is clear on so many things that i dont understand how so many different religions came about. the things that are unclear are trivial. its best to be just a believer.

First, because it is socially acceptable, second we as a nation have become susceptible to the influences of a fallen world, and desensitized ourselves.  Third, because so many people are walking around without the presence of the Holy Spirit to guide them in all things.  It is a sin to speak that way, and to use God's name for anything other than praise and prayer, or proper conversation.  Using it in vain is sin.  It was something I barely noticed before I was born again, now it actually hurts my spirit to hear someone swearing, cursing using God's name.

If the "Jesus Christ" somebody believes in is "another Jesus" from "another Gospel" (as St. Paul warned us about...)  - then they cannot rightly claim "Christian" as a title.

Yeshua, in Aramaic, the original language of the New Testament-this in reference to the name "Jesus".\nHowever, Jesus has MANY names-among them: I AM, Emmanuel, the Word, the everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, the King of Kings, Alpha and Omega, and the Lamb of God. The reason Jesus has so many names is that He IS so many things and has many titles. But I would say Yeshua and I AM are the simplest answer to your question. \nTake care. Buttercup

Both early teaching and the scriptures state it must be in the name of the Trinity.  Jesus gives everything to the Father.  The Spirit enlivens us.  To do it in the name of Jesus alone is to miss an important aspect of Christianity.

Christ is the Greek translation of  the title Messiah. Jesus is also a translation of the name Yeshua. So, Jesus is his name, and Christ is his title.

No, they got their name from configuring the number of members in their group. They are Christians. Cursing Christians, but Christians nonetheless.

Correct!\nChurch membership is not being part of the body of Christ!\nGathering together, is both a duty and privilege, though.\nThe word church became adopted because the local church bodies started building these things in a quasi-attempt to (wrongly) bring the temple/synagogue ideal into Christianity and for purposes of separation, where they were unfettered by the rules and regulations of the owners of the buildings that were previously used.  they were the church's and soon they were simply known as churches.\nThe Bible teaches that We (believers) are the living stones that build his church body, and no amount of worldly of fleshly work will transcend into that membership.

John 5:43 I am come in my Father’s name; and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. \n\nHe came in his father name Yahweh or Yah for short and we recieve him not. But if someone came in there own name Jesus him we would recieve. \n\n  The Messiah was a Hebrew Israelite from the Tribe of Judah, He lived as a Hebrew with a Hebrew Name given to him from Yah the father.  The name Jesus is English, there is no J or J equivalent in the Hebrew language.  Jesus is not the English translation of the Messiah's Hebrew name. Jesus is a name created by men not by the Most High.  The Hebrew Messiah name is Yahshuah, which means Yah's Salvation or Salvation of Yah, his name tells you whom he is and what his mission is.

I heard non-christians use the phrase,The Christ within;our higher selves,higher conciousness,anointed.A man can be a christ.Some people think that Jesus'name was Jesus Christ,but it was Jesus the Christ.\n\nThere are so many churches because people segregate themselves according to their beliefs.People interpret the bible differently and some follow scriptures that ohers don't. For example,Johovah's witness' don't believe in celebrating holidays.It said somewhere in the bible it was prohibited.Also,there are just alot of ministers who desired to preach and started their own church.People who enjoy their message,join their church.

Jehovah isn't his name it is a title.     \n\n It is called the unspeakable name, because God told them not to take his name in vain.  This is because the name of God has power.    Since it is so powerful to speak it  nonchalantly causes a "waste" of the power of his name.   The people back in Moses' day were so scared of taking that name in vain, the never spoke it.   They called him Jehovah, or the God.   The would not even write it.  If they felt it necessary to write it they left out letters.   \n\nPeople too freely speak the name of Christ now days (myself included.)   We should hold it more sovereign than we do.   There is power in the name of Christ.

Jesus is a Roman name.  Jesus never had a known Hebrew name, which seems very strange for a person that was supposed to be Jewish and G-d!\n\nSome people try and take his name and create a Jewish name for him, like Yeshua, but this is innacurate and a fraud.  You can't work backwards!

Jesus doesn't have a Mexican name. Jesus (hey-sus) is just how it's pronounced in Spanish.
