       BAPTIZED IN THE NAME OF CHRIST
       By: doug Date: December 17, 2025, 2:19 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       [Mark 1:4 KJV] "John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach
       the baptism of repentance for the remission of
       sins."...........John preached water baptism for Israel to be
       cleansed from sin to enter the earthly kingdom. Believing Israel
       would be a nation of priests and would have to be clean to
       become priests. The office of the priesthood demanded the
       washing of water.......[Exodus 29:4 KJV] "And Aaron and his sons
       thou shalt bring unto the door of the tabernacle of the
       congregation, and shalt wash them with water."........John did
       not baptize in the name of Jesus.
       [John 1:31 KJV] "And I knew him not: but that he should be made
       manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with
       water."............John came to make manifest the Lord Jesus
       coming to Israel. When John baptized the Lord Jesus, this is
       when God the Father told Israel Jesus was his Son, and Jesus was
       made known to Israel.........[Matthew 3:16 KJV] "And Jesus, when
       he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo,
       the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God
       descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:"
       [Matthew 3:17 KJV] "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is
       my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
       [Acts 2:38 KJV] "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."........Peter preached to be baptized in the name of
       Jesus Christ. The name of Christ was to be preached because it
       was now revealed that salvation was by his name, as can be seen
       in this verse........[John 20:31 KJV] "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."
       There were contentions in the Corinthian church over who
       baptized the members of this church. Peter was baptizing in the
       name of Christ, and Paul made it clear that he didn't want some
       to say he baptized in his own name.........[1 Corinthians 1:13
       KJV] "Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye
       baptized in the name of Paul?"
       [1 Corinthians 1:14 KJV] "I thank God that I baptized none of
       you, but Crispus and Gaius;"
       [1 Corinthians 1:15 KJV] "Lest any should say that I had
       baptized in mine own name.".........Paul made it clear he was
       not sent to baptize..........[1 Corinthians 1:17 KJV] "For
       Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not
       with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of
       none effect.".........Paul, unlike John the Baptist, was not
       sent to make known Jesus as their coming messiah. Paul was to
       sent to preach the gospel of Christ and salvation by the cross.
