No man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and He to whom the Son will reveal Him.

Free: "Joh 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. (ESV)

To "believe in his name" means to believe in all that is revealed in the name Jesus Christ, the Son of God; all that that entails in his character and person."






Again, the way the person who uses the name free does things, is to leave out all description of what Jesus testifies.

What we actually see testified by Jesus is not bout character at all, that is adding to the words of Jesus( the plagues of God will be added to all who do that method)

To believe on the name of Christ is to believe in the LIGHT, to do TRUTH, that is the name of God. ( Jesus Christ is His name as truth came by HIM)



John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

John 12:46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
 
Free: "Right. The NT hadn't been written and God chose to reveal his Son specifically to Paul for specific reasons."



All shows how man does not teach man, it is Christ that teaches man. ( the Spirit of Christ teaches only) and as other verses have said, only when Christ reveals Himself to anyone, or the world cant receive Him.




Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:
 
Free: "What does this verse have to do with what we're talking about? You're making connections where there are none, based on word usage, and ignore the context."



The verse I highlighted shows all is through the Spirit, that is what was revealed to the Apostles to preach to the world with, and the world requires the same spirit of revelation, or can not receive the message. ( that Christ in us is the hope of glory) and if this does not make sense to you, that is exactly fulfilling what those without the Spirit can know, according to the testimony of the Lord below..





1 Corinthians 2:11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Ephesians 3:5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
 
Free: "This goes against what the Bible says. In fact, the whole point in everything being written down was so that we could know who Jesus is, why we need salvation, and that salvation is found through Jesus alone. John wrote in his first epistle that:

1Jn 2:22 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. (ESV)

1Jn 4:15 Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. (ESV)

1Jn 5:10 Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.
1Jn 5:11 And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
1Jn 5:12 Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. (ESV)"






But again you miss off the whole point, that the antichrist is the SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST.


1 John 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.




Then the point is, EVERY SPIRIT that confesses Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is OF GOD ( are of the Spirit of Christ.)


1 John 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:





Read again ( everybody) to see what this guy( FREE ID) leaves out.


We know God, BECAUSE HE HAS GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT.

If we confess that Jesus is the Son of God, it is BECAUSE GO DWELLS IN US AND WE ARE IN GOD. ( we cangt know Him or confess without the Spirit, and with the spirit of antichrist they then deny.)





1 John 4:13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.
15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.



Cant even recognize the words you even quoted mister Free ?

If we have the Son ( the Son is in us in Spirit) and if we do not have the Son ( in us in Spirit to know who He is) we are the antichrist spirit and can never know who the Son of God is and we do not honour Him even as we honour the Father( they are one and same Lord God)



1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
 
Now I have shown and made the distinction clean, the antichrist spirit claims to know Christ, without having the Spirit of Christ, neither can it confess anything truthful in Christ at all( it is a lying spirit and not the Spirit of truth) and the truth of Christ to be confessed is, we can only know the Son if He reveals Himself to us through Himself( the Spirit of Christ)

Also, the Son does nor reveal Himself to anyone who dishonours Him, ( then it is not possible for them to ever know who the Son of God is .Matthew 11:27. Luke 10:22 ) and who claims this is His character to be less than the Father, when the Son inherits all things.




Hebrews 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.

John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
 
I have highlighted that this forum ( and all forums in the world) have unfortunately lots of wolves and serpents hidden everywhere, but they come out because they are predators, and not lambs.

Nobody is to be trusted, if people cant see that by now, then the testimony of Christ was given to them anyway.

"Joh 20:31 but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. (ESV)

Notice that salvation is based on believing who Jesus is as given in the book of John. And that is just a restatement of what John said earlier in several places:

Joh 1:12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, (ESV)"







What is written is written so we may believe, not that we will believe.

That is why you missed out how Jesus came to man, but they did not receive Him. ( this world)

But the ones who did receive Him, are empowered ( enabled as Apostle Paul was chosen by God and nobody chose themselves) by the Lord Jesus, as they are not led by their own will or by any will of man, they are led by the will of God to be born of God.



John 1:11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

1 Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;

To believe in the "name" of Jesus is to believe all that is revealed in that name; to believe and trust in him based on the revelation of who he is. According to John 1:12, to "receive" Jesus, is to believe "in his name."

This isn't biblical. Again, Paul was a specific case. And what of the rest of us? Just read what Paul wrote--he is teaching the gospel to others. That is the basis of the entire Bible. The plain and normal way people learn the gospel is through preaching and teaching:

Rom 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Rom 10:14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
Rom 10:15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?”
Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. (ESV)

1Co 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.
1Co 12:28 And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, administrating, and various kinds of tongues. (ESV)

Eph 4:11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,
Eph 4:12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
Eph 4:13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
Eph 4:14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. (ESV)

1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1Ti 2:6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
1Ti 2:7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. (ESV)

2Ti 1:10 and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel,
2Ti 1:11 for which I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher,
2Ti 1:12 which is why I suffer as I do. But I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that he is able to guard until that day what has been entrusted to me.
2Ti 1:13 Follow the pattern of the sound words that you have heard from me, in the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. (ESV)

Heb 5:12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, (ESV)

God has gifted certain persons to be teachers for the building up of the Church. Yes, the Holy Spirit must illumine what is taught and only the Holy Spirit can regenerate a person's heart, but all believers are to be able and willing to share the gospel.
 
"Rom 10:13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Rom 10:14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
Rom 10:15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”


Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?”
Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. (ESV)"



Not only asking how shall they call without believing, but also shows they need to call in truth, and how do they do that without the Spirit of truth teaching them all things Himself..



Psalm 145:18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.




"And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!"

"And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”





It is Jesus who stood upon the mountains, His name is beautiful. Jesus Christ was sent to preach peace, don't you ever want to believe that any of you opposers and resisters.





Isaiah 52:6 Therefore my people shall know my name: THEREFORE THEY SHALL KNOW IN THAT DAY THAT I AM HE THAT DOTH SPEAK: BEHOLD IT IS I.
7 HOW BEAUTIFUL UPON THE MOUNTAINS ARE THE FEET OF HIM THAT BRINGETH GOOD TIDINGS, THAT PUBLISHETH PEACE; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!

Zechariah 11:10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

Zechariah 14:4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east

John 8:1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

Acts 10:36 THE WORD WHICH GOD SENT UNTO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, PREACHING PEACE BY JESUS CHRIST: (he is Lord of all:)
 
"Rom 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?”
Rom 10:17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. (ESV)"



NOBODY CAN BELIEVE THE REPORT UNLESS JESUS IS THEIR TEACHER. ( need Spiritual revelation as you are told)



Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
 
Some are Apostles, some prophets, some teachers, some workers of miracles, some have the gifts of haling, and then we are shown a better way than all of them.




1 Corinthians 12:29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.



Prophecies and prophets then fail, those who talked in tongues vanished.

Then that which is perfect came to us, ( the way better than all the teachers) as we became a man( of God) and put away being a child( of the law being our school teacher and we have no further need of one)

Now we are all the children of God by faith in Jesus Christ( all are men of God and no longer children in understanding)





1 Corinthians 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.




Apostles then were given, to teach the faith, and that faith is for the perfecting of the saints.

That is us all coming to the unity of the faith unto a perfect man( when that which is perfect has come to us and we know God even as we are known)

All the body is equal and IS ONE, nobody is over anyone else at all...





Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
 
"1Ti 2:5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,
1Ti 2:6 who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
1Ti 2:7 For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth. (ESV)"



Do you not notice, when I quote it, it is more honest from me.

God will have all men come to the knowledge of the truth, and that is y one mediator, Christ Jesus, to God the Father for us.

Apostle Paul is a teacher of the faith ( for all men to come to the knowledge of the truth)

Apostle Paul teaches by example in the ministry ( not by mans wisdom and words, but by truth which is in DEED.)





1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.


2 Corinthians 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed:
4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
6 By pureness, by knowledge, by long suffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.



Colossians 1:29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

1 John 3:18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
 
Let me help by showing you some key.... WORDS AND CONCEPTS OF THE BIBLE

Name - This word of course brings to mind an actual name, such as John Doe. But what does it mean to a Jew.

Name - 1. designates more than the external person; it tends to express his basic character, his personality. We might say it is an emanation of the person himself. 2. authority of, expressing attributes, in acknowledgment or confession of (NABD & VED).

This definition helps us in a verse like John 17:26:

"I (Jesus) made known to them your name and I will make it known."

Jesus obviously did not come to inform the Apostles that God’s name is YHWH. He came to explain God’s character, His attributes, His will, so that we could come to truly know God and follow His ways. This understanding of the word "name" along with the definition of the next word "baptize" will clear up another misunderstood verse.

Baptize - We always think of being baptized in water, either as infants or adults. Yes, this definition is used many times in the New Testament, but there is also another meaning that we must store in the back of our minds.

Baptize - 1. to unite together, to become closely bound to (TGEL & VED).

Now we will put together the definitions of "name" and "baptize" to get the true meaning of Matthew 28:19. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words has this commentary on this verse:

"The phrase in Matthew 28:19, ‘baptize them in the name’ would indicate that the baptized person was closely bound to, or became property of, the one in whose name he was baptized."

With these definitions we can safely paraphrase this verse as follows:

"Go out into the world and introduce or bring them into the knowledge of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Which is exactly what they did. The Apostles had to go into the world and explain to the Gentiles who God is, who the Son (The Messiah) is, and also about the power that they would receive from God’s Spirit. If we take it to mean that we are to water baptize people in the actual name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, then why is it that no one in the Bible ever uses this formula to water baptize believers?

There is a very strong position held by many scholars that this verse was not part of the original text of Matthew’s Gospel, as Eusebius, a third century Christian apologist, quoted the text in a shorter form rather than the form that now appears in the gospel. It reads,

"Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in my name" (which is in agreement with the paraphrase that was just given above).

One commentator writes,
"There is much probability in the conjecture that it is the original text of the gospel, and that in the second century the longer clause supplanted the shorter ‘baptizing them in my name.’ An insertion of this kind, derived from liturgical use, would have rapidly been adopted by copyist and translators" (The International Critical Commentary, by Willoughby C. Allen Volume 26, pp. 307-308).

This position has strong Biblical support by the fact that the Apostles at no recorded instance baptize using the formula of "The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit" as Jesus supposedly commanded them to do. They always baptize "In the name of Jesus Christ."

Also the parallel passage in Mark 16:15-18 does not mention in any way this trine formula, and the Gospel of Mark is believed to be written before Matthew. But these are the results of using definitions that are different than the ones that the writers used.

Now think about your verse you posted...​

No man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and He to whom the Son will reveal Him.​


Joh 12:49 "For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

You don't want to highlight how Apostle Paul was a prisoner of the Lord, in the afflictions of the Gospel, and to not be afraid of the powers of men, as we have the power of God, who has abolished death ?

For the cause of being the Apostle to the Gentile, Apostle Paul suffers those things, without shame as He knows Jesus Christ who we believe in. We believe Jesus is able to keep our life and soul committed unto Him, against the day of redemption, and these are the sound words to keep fast hold of, in the faith of Jesus Christ( not to hear deceivers because they insist they should "guide" you)





2 Timothy 1:8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:
11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
13 Hold fast the form of sound words, which thou hast heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
 
"Heb 5:12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, (ESV)

God has gifted certain persons to be teachers for the building up of the Church. Yes, the Holy Spirit must illumine what is taught and only the Holy Spirit can regenerate a person's heart, but all believers are to be able and willing to share the gospel."



They above in Hebrews 5, have need as they are not sincere believers, so we know all who claim to be a teacher want us to not be a believer in Christ also.



Hebrews 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.


1 John 2:26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Jesus obviously did not come to inform the Apostles that God’s name is YHWH. He came to explain God’s character, His attributes, His will, so that we could come to truly know God and follow His ways. This understanding of the word "name" along with the definition of the next word "baptize" will clear up another misunderstood verse."



Actually He came to give the name of Jesus Christ for us to trust in...





John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

1 John 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.





The name of Jesus Christ is love, and that is Jesus Christ in us. To have the love of Chist in us, is for us to be filled with ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD.





John 17:26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
 
"Go out into the world and introduce or bring them into the knowledge of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

Which is exactly what they did. The Apostles had to go into the world and explain to the Gentiles who God is, who the Son (The Messiah) is, and also about the power that they would receive from God’s Spirit. If we take it to mean that we are to water baptize people in the actual name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, then why is it that no one in the Bible ever uses this formula to water baptize believers?"



Sorry for all you peeps confusion, but there is no yhwh.

All men honour the Son, as the Father, or they dishonour Him.

Baptizing is in the name of the Son( that is the name of the Father also) as there is no other name given among men whereby which we must be saved, and that name to be baptized in is Jesus Christ, and belief in His name is our baptism and is how we are saved.( nothing else at all) as He is God and is the Spirit of Christ.




John 5:23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

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



Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
 

"Now think about your verse you posted...​

No man knows who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and He to whom the Son will reveal Him.​


Joh 12:49 "For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak."



Try thinking about what I am able to show you.

Jesus the Son of God speaks the Fathers words ( Christ is the Word)

The father makes Himself known to us through the Son, we saw the Spirit descending as a dive upon the Son, and He is born of the Spirit. Those words are the words of the new covenant, in the mouth of the Son and in the mouth of believers, as the Son dwells in us.

Then those moths cannot speak lies, they can only speak by the Spirit of truth in them.

If any man then speaks, they also speak as the oracles of God, that God in all things is glorified through JESUS CHRIST.






Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.

Zephaniah 3:13 The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.

1 Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
