In Matthew 2819, Jesus told his disciples,

Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.

Considering this verse, why do Oneness Pentecostals insist that everyone must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Dr. David K. Bernard responds to

this crucial question next on Apostolic Life in the 21st Century. Welcome to Apostolic Life in the

21st Century, a podcast dedicated to helping modern day believers live out the teachings of the first century church.

This podcast is part of a teaching ministry of Dr. David K. Bernard.

Dr. Bernard is dedicated his life to studying the Bible and helping believers apply its message to their daily lives.

In apostolic life in the 21st century, Dr. Bernard answers your questions about what

the Bible teaches and how those teachings apply to everyday life. Thank you for joining us for this

episode. One is Pentecostals frequently quote Acts 238, where Peter commanded his listeners to

be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus

Christ. We also point out very frequently that every baptism that was recorded in the book of Acts

was done in the name of Jesus. The problem, at least for some, is that the words of Jesus seem to

contradict the book of Acts.

I'm talking specifically about Matthew 2819, where Jesus told his disciples,

go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.

How do we reconcile what Jesus said in Matthew with what happened in the book of Acts?

That's a very important question.

And for those you who want to study further, I have a small book called In the Name of Jesus.

And I devote a chapter to that very question.

Also, I have a book called Understanding God's Word, which gives you some principles of

interpretation.
