Re: Who Baptized John the Baptist? Quote: Originally Posted by Rozell1  In Acts, it says the apostles baptized in the name of Jesus; is it sufficient just to baptize in the name of Jesus or does it need the Trinitarian blessing? I was having this discussion with a protestant and it left me thinking if the disciples actually followed Jesus' commandment to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. As I understand it, doing something "in the name of ...somebody..." meant doing it by their authority. Like, I sentence you in the name of the King, or Open in the name of the law. So to baptize in the name of Jesus would be doing it according to his authority. And he said "Baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit". __________________ =========== Evan

Re: Who Baptized John the Baptist? Quote: =1answer;10437436]thanks -- for this string -- to demenstrate the difficulity of recognizing that the mikvah- in the Hebrew tradition was was being performed by John - as also referenced in hebrews 6- where it references moveing on to the foundations o "baptisms" it is necessary to to read about the "hebrew roots" of this God made ceremony, to avoid developing imaginary and man made understanding of what the scripture means. as peter said "be mikvah in the water of repentence and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, this is why paul said in acts 19 what were you "baptised" or mikvah in? so he got them mikvah in the Holy Spirit-- and there is a difference-- between the two baptism's or mikvah- other wise -- why bother so -- obviously-- john the baptis -- what Mikvah in water as was the tridition in the religious ceremony-- i suggest that the readers of this string-- research and learn what the baptism or mikvah is all about-- so you don't become mis-lead or deceived BE CAREFUL HERE! John 3: 5 "Jesus answered: Amen, amen I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." Matthew 28: 19-20 "[16-20] "And the eleven disciples went into Galilee, unto the mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And seeing him they adored: but some doubted. And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth. Going therefore, teach ye all nations; baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world. FIRST JESUS SAYS "DO IT!"; THEN TELLS HOW! The ONLY relation to Jewsh Tradition is through circumission with is NOW overriden by Christian Baptism. The Old Covenant by the New Covennt.
