Power in the name of Jesus

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

I sent an email recently with a letter my brother had written me.  We are
still discussing the Trinity and baptism in the name of Jesus.  He just
emailed me back, and he still doesn't see it.  He is saying that to do
something "in the name of the Lord" is not necessarily to say the word
"Jesus" but what is in your heart - he gives examples such as in the Old
Testament people did things in the name of the Lord without saying the
literal name of God.  Therefore, he argues that it does not matter whether
you are baptized in the titles or in the name.  I have already given him
all the baptism scriptures   He also said he realizes now that I do not
believe he and my mother are saved.  I feel so burdened for him.  I do not
know if I should give him any more scriptures or just leave it alone and
pray for him. Sometimes it is hard for me to understand why people can't
see the truth.  I guess it really does come down to the heart.  Please keep
him in your prayers, and if you have any scriptures the Lord lays on your
heart about the power of the literal "name" let me know.  Please keep
Jonathan in your prayers.

God bless you
