BIBLICAL WATER BAPTISM FORMULA

Michael, your article on water baptism is good overall; however, I have a few issues with some of your points. First, the early apostolic church led by Peter and Paul preached and practiced baptizing repentant believers in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5, 22:16). The trinitarian titles of Father, Son, Holy Ghost, were never used by the apostles in an actual baptism in the Bible. The NT clearly states that true believers should do everything that is spiritually significant in Jesus' Name, since JESUS (Jehovah-Savior) is the only saving name for mankind to call on (Matt 1:21; Acts 4:12; Col 3:17). If we truly desire to make our calling and election sure then we need to do everything the way the apostles did because Jesus himself declared that people would believe in Him through their words(doctrines, teachings) (John 17:20). God bless.
