SCRIPTURE LESSON OF THE WEEK



20 February 2012


All Christian churches practice the rite of baptism in one form or another. Many of the cults that call themselves Christian, but in reality are not, also practice baptism. When these cults and false Christians baptize someone, they do it in the name of their founder(s) and as a requirement to become a member of their manmade organization. This is completely contrary to the teachings of the Bible. The Bible specific requirements on whose name baptism is done, and it is NOT to be done in the name of an organization's founder or the name of the organization itself. If a church or organization practices baptism in a different manner as prescribed by the Bible, then that is a warning sign that there is error in that organization or church.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Matthew 28:19

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.
Acts 2:38

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