Beauties of the Truth Vol 2, #1, Jan 1991 “Eusebius, a fourth century writer, had the greatest library of any early church scribe. It contained manuscripts of the new testament that were at least 200 years older than any existing today. Manuscripts copied by Origen, …
…Clement of Alexandria, and others not available today gave him access to almost original material. Eusebius cites Matthew 28: 19 eighteen times in his work, always in the same form: “Go ye and make disciples of all nations in my name, teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I commanded you”
…When he comments on the verse, Eusebius places great stress on the phrase, “in my name. ” Apparently his sources, Origen, Clement and Justin Martyr, excluded “father” and “holy spirit” from this scripture. . .
Beauties of the Truth - Vol 2, #1, Jan 1991 continued Aphraates, a Syriac writer of the middle-fourth century, cites the text in yet a different manner, “Make disciples of all nations, and they shall believe in me. ” … Ironically, Pope Stephen used only one name, Jesus…”
BAPTIZED IN WHO’S NAME? IN JESUS NAME
IN CONCLUSION Submersion is the correct form of baptism, not sprinkling or pouring water on the head.
Infant baptism is not taught in the Bible
GREEK DEFINITION OF BAPTISM The Greek word for baptism has the thought of complete submersion under water
John baptizes the Jews John’s Baptism was unto repentance and typical remission of sins.
Baptism into Christ is for consecration unto death and remission of sins through justification to life.
Ultimate purpose is the healing & blessing of all … …the families of the earth.
Water Baptism is an important symbol, but does not cancel sins.
We are saved by belief in Christ, the grace of God and Justification to Life, not the symbol of water baptism.
We are Baptized into Christ, not the Trinity
