When People Baptize Others



When People Baptize Others
Author: Mark V. Markov

When people baptize others
Please always say
In the name of Jesus Christ
Either before or after
You say

In the name of the Father
In the name of The Son
In the name of Holy Spirit
When you fully immerse
The person
In the water

Since Father
Is not a name
And Son
Is not a name

Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father
And it could be used as a name
In reference to the Spirit of God
But the word Father
Is not a name
And the word Son
Is not a name

In the book of Acts
Chapters eight, ten, nineteen
Verses sixteen, forty eight, and five
The verses say
The disciples baptized them
In the name of Jesus Christ.

So everyone who wants to be baptized
Always ask
As you get immersed
To be baptized

In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son
In the name of the Holy Spirit
In the name of Jesus Christ

or

In the name of Jesus Christ
In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son
In the name of the Holy Spirit

Either way
As long as the name of Jesus Christ
Is mentioned
As you get fully immersed
In the water

When people baptize others
Please always say
In the name of Jesus Christ
Either before or after
You say

In the name of the Father
In the name of The Son
In the name of Holy Spirit
As you fully immerse
The person
In the water...

baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.
And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."


John 20:30-31 (ESV)

30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples,
which are not written in this book;

31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God,

and that by believing you may have life in his name
