Every time the disciples baptised into the name (not names) of Jesus.
Jesus is the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, the "one name given amongst men by which we may be saved."

Originally posted by PenguinTruth be told, baptism (the physical aspect of it) was specifically designed for a very narrow window in time, and that window has since been closed. During our time, when a person passes from unbeliever to believer, they are simultaneously baptized into the nature of every member of the Godhead.
but the Bible says:
[b]28:19 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,
There are lots of translations here: http://bible.cc/matthew/28-19.htm and they all name all 3 parts of the trinity.
Seems pretty clear cut to me. Where does it say that it should not be ta ...[text shortened]... u know that what was meant is different to what is reported as having been said?

No comment yet? Just the question here is the obvious one which is if Jesus is God and if all three of these beings of the Trinity are all equal and all knowing and all powerful as the trinity explains, then why wouldn't Jesus already have all the authority that the other two parts have? Did he not have it before this was given to him?
And for one part ...[text shortened]... t?
Why does the bible not say the Holy Spirit is given this same authority as Jesus is given?

Originally posted by PenguinIt is difficult for the church to possess an official position, just as it is difficult for any loosely-woven group of people to have one. Practitioners of science are called scientists, but you'd be hard-pressed to get any one to submit to an official position on anything other than the most basic of concepts... and even these will not be without objections by some.

Hang on, I have done a quick Google. From http://www.baptism.org.uk/what_is_baptism.htm:
There are, roughly speaking, four views of the effect of someone being bapt all of these options, so how do we figure out which it is (or which it is not)?

Originally posted by stokerI apprecite your comment but we really have to go on what the entire Bible says and how it describes who or what the 3 beings of the trinity doctrine are or not wha tthey are. The Bible at clearly says God is 1 God. If he were 3 beings mixed together into one somehow, this scripture should not be in the Bible or this would have been a good time to explain that he was a multiple being God but no terminology exist like that in the Bible.
im of the mind the trinity is 3 of the same each with a gift. god the father which jesus never puts himself equal is the head, brains. jesus is the heart and lungs by which we seek to be forgiven, the spirit is the outer body which works to do the glory of the two.
jesus had the authority but had to go thro this life and death but wether he had to be raise ...[text shortened]... ust as jesus was the christ hidden from most at the time we are presented with similar questions
Originally posted by galveston75When Christ stepped down off of His throne (Temporally) He gave up temporally some of the attributes of the Godhead by being in the flesh. This was just a fact as being in the flesh put physical limits on Christ during His time on the earth. This is why Jesus said things like No one knows the day or hour except the father. This is also why Jesus became tired and hungry. The authority was given to Him by the father. When Christ was Resurrected He gained all of his authority and power back anyway.

Originally posted by menace71Good play with words Manny. Your still forgetting that Jesus himself said he was the first of all creations. God was never created and has always been. You guys still play with words and twist them to make them fit this made up doctrine that never existed at all in the Bible and still does not exist in the Bible.
