HASTINGS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF RELIGION - “Christian Baptism was administered using the words “In the Name of Jesus”. The use of a Trinity formula of any sort was not suggested in the early church history. Baptism was always in the Name of the Lord Jesus until the time of Justin Maryr when triune formula was used.”

A SOLEMN INVITATION

If you have not been baptized in the NAME of the LORD JESUS CHRIST yet, YOUR BAPTISM IS WRONG. You have to be REBAPTIZED AGAIN in the NAME of Jesus Christ in order for you to receive the Spirit of God.

Acts 2:38 plainly says, “REPENT, everyone of you, and BE BAPTIZED in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST for (What?) the REMISSION OF SINS - (You are still in your sins if you are not baptized in the NAME of the LORD JESUS CHRIST for no other Name is given whereby we must be saved), “AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST”.

If you are God’s predestinated seed, you will not wait long until you are baptized in the NAME of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Get right with God now while mercy and grace is upon your reach. “Obedience is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22).

Be baptized
in Jesus’ name?
On the Day of Pentecost , Peter told the crowd,
“Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the
name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit” (Acts 2:38). His command concerning
baptism was that it be done “in the name of Jesus
Christ.” Earlier, Jesus had told His disciples to
baptize disciples “in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19).
The difference in wording has led many to ask,
“What is the correct formula? Are we to baptize in
the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; or are
we to baptize in the name of Jesus alone?”
One explanation points to the fact that the Father,
Son, and Spirit are “three-in-one.” Being baptized in
the name of one Person of the Godhead is the
same as being baptized in the name of all three.
But there is a more probable explanation, which
takes into account the audience for each command.
When Jesus gave the Great Commission , He was
sending His followers into all the world to make
disciples “of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). In the
pagan world, they would encounter those who knew
absolutely nothing about One True God, idolatrous
people who were “without hope and without God in
the world” (Ephesians 2:12). In preaching the
gospel to such people, the apostles would
necessarily have to include teaching on what God is
like, including His triune nature. (Notice with what
basic information Paul begins his address to the
Athenians in Acts 17.) Those who received the
gospel and were baptized would be converting to an
entirely different religious system and embracing a
new understanding of who God is.
In contrast, Peter was speaking on the Day of
Pentecost to faithful Jewish people who already had
an understanding of God the Father and God’s
Spirit. The part of the equation they were missing
was Jesus, the Son of God—and without Jesus, they
could not be saved (Acts 4:12). In presenting the
gospel to the Jews

Unto what Name were you baptized? Were you baptized using the Titles of Father, Son and Holy Ghost or using the Name of Jesus Christ? Is there any difference between the two?
