Baptism In Jesus Name Is Necessary For Salvation

(It’s How The Apostles Baptized)

Jesus Gave The Command.

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to

rise from the dead the third day:

Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Luke 24:48 And ye are witnesses of these things.

Peter Fulfilled The Command. He Quoted Verbatim What Jesus Said For Them To Preach.

1. Jerusalem

Acts 2:38 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.

Objection: When I got baptized, they said, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost” Isn’t that how the Bible says to be baptized?

Matt. 28:19 … baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

• The name of Jesus must be said to take way your sins. Father, Son and Holy Ghost are not names, they’re titles!
• Without exception, every person baptized in the early Church was  baptized using the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Acts 4:12   Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven

given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Let’s See How They Baptized In The New Testament Church…

2. Samaria

Acts 8:12   But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God,

and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

Acts 8:16  (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of

the Lord Jesus.)

3. Saul of Tarsus

Acts 9:18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight

forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the

name of the Lord.

4. Household of Cornelius

Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

5. Rome

Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his

death?

Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up

from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the

likeness of his resurrection:

6. Corinth

1 Cor 1:12 Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas;

and I of Christ.

1 Cor 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

7. Galatians

Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

8. Ephesus

Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

9. Colosse

Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the

operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.

• No place in the Bible was anyone ever baptized using the titles Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
• To have your sins washed away, you must be baptized in Jesus Name

Phil 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every

name:

Phil 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth,

and things under the earth;

Phil 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the

Father.
