"Christ" is not a part of His name. It is a title. BTW, His name is actually Yeshua. Ha Mashiach is His title.
Jesus Christ, the Anglicized Yeshua Ha Mashiach, is the name of the Son of God. It is not the name of the Father or the Holy Spirit. Nazareth was his home town; it is not part of His name.
Holy Spirit baptism is promised as the result of water baptism in Jesus' Name (Acts 2:38-39).
And while water baptism is not "the putting away of the filth of the flesh", it does wash away sins (Acts 22:16).
"Christ" is a part of His essence (who He is) since a name describes the essence of a person, "Christ" does indeed fall into the category of being a part of His name.
Acts 4:10-12 tells us that there is none other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved, other than "the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth".
It is important to include everything mentioned as part of His "name";
Because someone may be referring to a Jesus who is not the Christ (see Colossians 4:11); or of a Jesus who claims to be the Christ who was not born in Nazareth.
There may also be a "Jesus of Nazareth" somewhere along in history who is not the Christ.
So, in order to be speaking of the real Jesus (see 2 Corinthians 11:3-4), it is important to utilize every element of His name when speaking of Him and to understand that in utilizing every element you are speaking His true Name.
The Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost are said to have a singular Name in Matthew 28:19.
Go to Acts 2:38, its topical context, to discover what that Name is.
No, it doesn't.
Cornelius at the preaching of Peter received the Holy Spirit.
Later, they were water baptized as a symbolic act that simulates the burial and resurrection of Christ.
Water baptism does not regenerate. The Holy Spirit has that ministry.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Acts. 10:44–48.
Amen sir.
There are three distinct baptisms, identified by three distinct and different baptizers.
Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 1 Corinthians 10:1-2
- all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea
- Baptized into Moses corresponds to being baptized into Christ by the Spirit.
The Spirit is the Baptizer —
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13
2. Baptized in the sea corresponds to water baptism.
Man is the baptizer —
for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now. Acts 1:5
3. Baptized in the cloud corresponds to the baptism with the Spirit.
Jesus is the Baptizer —
I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit. Mark 1:8
JLB
Cornelius and friends received the Holy Spirit before being water baptized in Jesus' Name.
They did not receive remission of sins until the moment that they were water baptized in Jesus' Name (Mark 1:4, Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16).
Peter required baptism of Cornelius and friends.
Why do that if all was said and done when they received the Holy Spirit?
Why do that if all was said and done when they received the Holy Spirit?
Actually, there are five baptisms in Scripture:
Water Baptism:
John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: Jn 1:26.
Spirit Baptism and
Baptism of Fire:
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Mt 3:11.
Baptism of Suffering:
And they said unto him, We can. And Jesus said unto them, Ye shall indeed drink of the cup that I drink of; and with the baptism that I am baptized withal shall ye be baptized:
Mk 10:39.
Baptism of Love:
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. 1 Jn 4:16.
You don't understand that the Promise of the Spirit in the OT was a sign of salvation and redemption.
Eternally.
Going through a cloud or through a flood was a physical deliverance for the circumstance at hand. But the salvation that was eternal was at the Advent of the Holy Spirit. That's how Christ added to the Church.
Not by water.
Acts 2:38 does not refer to water baptism.
His name is Yeshua. His title is Ha Mashiach. Translated it's "Jesus, the Messiah". "Mashiach/Messiah" is not His name.
Matthew 1:1, "An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham."
Matt 1:16 And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.
Matthew 1:12-16, "And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Salathiel, and Salathiel the father of Zerubbabel, and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, who bore Jesus, who is called the Messiah."
"Who is called Christ" in olde Englyshe is better translated "who is called the Messiah". Again, Christ/Messiah is a title, not His name. Matthew 1:1, "An account of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham."
That argument is as old as the hills. But of course it is referring to water baptism. Otherwise it is redundant.
"Repent and be baptized in the Holy Ghost; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost..."
His name is "Jesus Christ of Nazareth" according to Acts 4:10-12.
And your response is as old as the hills. To be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ means to be totally immersed in His name. Here is what the Expositor's Bible Commentary says (in part): Peter's sermon in Solomon's Colonnade (cf. 3:12-26) stresses only repentance and turning to God "so that your sins may be wiped out" (v.19) and makes no mention of baptism. This shows that for Luke at least, and probably also for Peter, while baptism with water was the expected symbol for conversion, it was not an indispensable criterion for salvation."
Why should I believe your opinion over there expert analysis?
Being "baptized in the Holy Ghost" does not mean "baptized in water" unless the Holy Spirit is made of water!!!
