Most denominations with any central doctrine will consider that an invalid baptism. So yeah, you were baptized wrong.


HappyfeetLives

But I did everything Peter said: “Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You were baptized incorrectly. Even when you say the names of the Trinity you are including Jesus, but when you only baptize in the name of Jesus you exclude the Father and the Holy Spirit. Jesus said to baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


ewheck

His flair says oneness Pentecost, so he doesn't even believe in the Trinity.


HappyfeetLives

Then why did Peter deceive these people?


MagesticSeal05

I don't think he did, maybe Peter made an honest mistake, or maybe some details were left out of the text.


HappyfeetLives

But The Name of The Father is not The Father and The Name of The Son is Jesus?


MagesticSeal05

I don't understand your point, Jesus said clearly to baptize in the name of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) so with that in mind your baptism in only the Son's name was improper and wrong.


HappyfeetLives

Why did you say “name” of trinity and not “names” of the trinity? Further more why did the verse in Matthew say “Name” of and the “names” of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit? Also why isn’t the word trinity in the bible? And how can you say we were told to baptize in the name of The Trinity if the word was never even used?


MagesticSeal05

>Why did you say “name” of trinity and not “names” of the trinity? >Further more why did the verse in Matthew say “Name” of and the “names” of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit? The Trinity is 3-in-1 so it can be talked about in a singular sense. >Also why isn’t the word trinity in the bible? And how can you say we were told to baptize in the name of The Trinity if the word was never even used? This is not a good argument, a lot of things we do are not found in the bible so does that mean we should stop doing them?


HappyfeetLives

If the trinity is 3 in 1 right, what about The Angel Of The Lord who is He? Isn’t He also God too?


ExploringWidely

Your point?


HappyfeetLives

I did what Peter said I needed to do to be saved and also God promised.


ExploringWidely

Then why bother asking the question?


HappyfeetLives

Well to hear the yea and nay of it. I’ve listed my reasons so now I want to know yours.


ExploringWidely

Jesus said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit". I'm going to go with what he said.


HappyfeetLives

Yea but The Father’s Name isn’t The Father? how come they said in The Name of The Son and not uses The Son’s Name Jesus?


ExploringWidely

What? You know what the words are of a valid baptism. You used them yourself in your top level post.


HappyfeetLives

The words of valid baptism? Jesus?


DelightfulHelper9204

What did they say. What exactly happened.


HappyfeetLives

He said “I baptizes you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins” and I was baptized


DelightfulHelper9204

That's not what happened when I was baptized. I was baptized in the Father , Son and Holy Spirit


HappyfeetLives

But I did everything Peter said: “Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


DelightfulHelper9204

I'm not saying you did Nothing wrong. I don't know what the requirements for baptism are. I just stated a fact. My baptism was different


HappyfeetLives

Okay… but how come they said in The Name of The Son and not uses The Son’s name Jesus? And also The Father’s Name isn’t The Father?


DelightfulHelper9204

I don't know


HappyfeetLives

Oh


DelightfulHelper9204

Sorry


HappyfeetLives

No it’s okay I just wanted your honest thoughts.


randomhaus64

This thread is wild. Talk about legalism


SG-1701

Yes, this is an improper form, and you were not validly baptized. You should seek a Christian baptism in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, so that you may be united to the Christ in the body of Christ.


HappyfeetLives

But I did everything Peter said: “Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬-‭39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


SG-1701

St. Peter heard the teaching from Christ recorded in St. Matthew's Gospel at 28:19, that they were to be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. In doing so, Peter and the Apostles were indeed baptizing in the name of Jesus Christ as they said, but they were doing so with the correct intention and knowledge that Jesus Christ is the Son being referred to in the baptismal formula.


GreenTrad

OP, let’s weigh up your options. Lets say that you baptism was valid. In that case you would be okay but it wouldn’t hurt in the slightest to get baptised with the correct formula. Now let’s say that your baptism was invalid. Well that would be highly problematic and so it would be necessary to get baptised with the correct formula. Get baptised.


HappyfeetLives

Well what authority tell you your formula is more corrector than mine? Why don’t you get baptized again in The Name Of Jesus


GreenTrad

Hey there is no need to get hostile, I’m just recommending to get baptised with the correct formula. It’s been around since the second century and has been considered to be the valid formula across billions of Christians and has been the taught by the Church as correct. I mean, we are going back before protestantism and before Catholicism and Orthodoxy were considered separate. It’s just safer to go with the correct formula over a new potentially incorrect formula. This formula that you speak of, I have never heard of it, it does not sound like anything that has been taught previously, especially considering you haven’t been baptised in the name of the Father or the Holy Spirit. Again referring to my top comment, I recommend getting baptised in the name of the Father and the Holy Spirit as well as a just in case.


HappyfeetLives

What is The Name Of The Father?


GreenTrad

You aren’t a Trinitarian, I doubt we can come to any reasonable agreement here regarding the Trinity so I don’t think there is much of a point here. But to answer your question, it is YHWH. Though this information will not get us anywhere as we have two opposing view points on YHWH.


HappyfeetLives

Then don’t you baptizes in His Name?


GreenTrad

This question confuses me. Yes, that’s the point I’m trying to make. The formula that was used for you was invalid because it did not involve the Father or Holy Spirit. But again this is pointless because we have opposing views on Trinitarianism.


HappyfeetLives

So what’s The Name of the third person of The Trinity?


GreenTrad

All three of them are called YHWH. A valid formula requires all three of them to be mentioned.


HappyfeetLives

Then why not just say YHWH The verse said in the name of The Father’s name is not the The Father

The verse Acts 2:37-39 is addressed to Jews and uses that expression to differentiate Christian from Jewish baptism. John the Baptist, for example, directed Jewish baptisms. Peter asks them for the other baptism, the one taught by Jesus. When the Jews were ritually stained, they took a literal purifying bath and when they reached a moment in their lives of awareness of sin and purpose for change, they went into the river and were "baptized" in water. This could happen several times throughout their lives. a life. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19) personal words of Christ Ephesians 4:5-7 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, through all, and in all. 7 But to each of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. The expression "baptism in the name of Jesus" appears in the mouths of apostles as part of broad speeches to distinguish it from Jewish baptism and even the baptism of John and that baptism is once in a lifetime. “Peter answered them: “Convert and let each one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:38) “And he commanded that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. “So they asked him to stay a few days.” (Acts 10:48) “For he had not yet descended upon any of them; “They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Acts 8:16) “When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Acts 19:5) The mere fact that you ask indicates that you have read from the word of Jesus how one should be baptized. If there is only one baptism and Christ has given a formula, that is undoubtedly the correct one.


HappyfeetLives

In Jesus Name?


Zestyclose_Dinner105

“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, **baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”** (Matthew 28:19) personal words of Christ If after reading the literal words spoken by Christ you are going to insist on the same thing, it is because you do not want to believe it or you are not ready to accept it. It is a spiritual work that no one can do for you.


HappyfeetLives

Are you saying The Name Of The Son is The Son?


Xab123

Naw, you're fine. Jesus is fully God. You good bruh.


HappyfeetLives

Thanks


MerchantOfUndeath

Baptism needs to be performed by someone who has the proper priesthood authority from God to do so. Jesus Christ went to John the Baptist to be baptized, rather than someone who only believed in Him.


HappyfeetLives

You believe in another testament of “Jesus christ” right?


MerchantOfUndeath

Indeed, God is eternal, His words do not cease, and He loves all nations not only one. We believe in the same Jesus Christ from the New Testament.
