I don't understand why you don't get it

What happens when we get baptized in JESUS name?
What happens when we get baptised in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit which Jesus commanded in Matthew, his words not mine.

Further more if you forgot to confess a sin(s) then you are not getting into heaven are you?

Is this a question?

IF YOU DON'T GET BAPTZED IN JESUS NAME YOU WILL NOT GET RID OF YOUR SINS.

SINCE WE SIN DAILY WE NEED TO CONFESS THEM TO HIM TO GET RID OF THOSE AFTER BEING REBORN.

SIN WILL NOT ENTER HEAVEN.

I THOUGHT ALL OF THAT WAS VERY CLEAR SO WHY THE QUESTION???

Because it is contextual to chapter three.

FYI, No one wrote the letters in the Bible with chapters and verses or in King James English. That was all added.

That is why it is essential to read before and after a verse, sentence, chapter, and book so that you can understand the author's intent.

  • Who was he writing to?
  • What time frame was it written in
  • how did they apply it, then
  • and how do we apply it today
Chapter 15 pertains primarily to the resurrection. And the chapter does make a reference to baptism revealing it was part of the gospel message.
Paul questioned why people who said they didn't believe in the resurrection were getting water baptized for those who did not get baptized prior to death.

and so have I, and you will not respond to the hard questions out of fear of being banned :)
Again, your opinion. I point people to the word of God. It's up to them whether they accept or reject what is actually written.

And, I have to say it's mind boggling that once presented with the truth that there isn't an immediate response from those who profess to follow Jesus. People have no problem evoking the name of Jesus in all ways expressed in the word EXCEPT when it comes to water baptism. Hummmm. What's up with that?

The Book of Psalms declares what was coming:
"For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the Lord of hosts." Psalm 141:2

Jesus is His name.

Chapter 15?

"As already noted, baptism is not a requirement for salvation in the first place ( Ephesians 2:8; Romans 3:28; 4:3; 6:3–4). "

1 Corinthians 15 is a challenging chapter to interpret. Yet, with other scriptures, we can see Paul is not saying proxy water baptism will save those who are dead. The chapter is about the resurrection of Christ and the saints.

Paul may have been addressing a pagan practice. Or there are other interpretations many have proposed.


I am not going to try and tell you or anyone what I think, but I will stay with the context of the chapter and speak on the Resurrection of the believer. And the eyewitnesses who saw Jesus after he was resurrected.

Hey, I will remember that when you start a thread. LOL, trying to end my. Thanks a lot, LOL.

I agree the point was made, and the chips fall where they may. Baptism in Jesus' name only is a Biblical error.
