BAPTISM in JESUS NAME - the verses containing every tense of the word baptize are listed below. 

Four-hundred years of silence was broken when Gabriel announced the birth of John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ. Six months after John the Baptist was born Jesus would be born. The entire Old Testament foretold of Jesus Christ the Savoir of the World. The Lamb slain from the foundation of the World would soon die on the cross for all of humanity.  

The Last Words of Jesus - post resurrection- as recorded in the Book of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Acts.

Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name "OF" the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

Mark 16:16 He that believeth AND IS baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Between Mark 16:19 and 16:20 The Day of Pentecost took place!

Luke 24:47 And that repentance and REMISSION of sins should be preached in HIS NAME among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Act 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Notice in verse 37 that EVERY APOSTLE WAS ASKED WHAT SHALL WE DO? BUT only Peter lifted up his voice.

Act 2:37-38 Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the REST of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the NAME of JESUS CHRIST for the REMISSION (JESUS said in Luke 24:47 that repentance and remission of sins would be preached in His NAME) of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Act 10:46-48 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the NAME OF THE LORD Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the KEYS of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Please note that it was Peter that first preached salvation to the Jews in Acts chapter 2 and It was Peter who preached it first to the Gentiles in Acts Chapter 10. He was given the KEYS to the kingdom of Heaven. Countless Others would preach the same message but he was the first.

Act 19:3-5 And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John's baptism. 4 Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. 5 When they heard [this], they were baptized in THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS.

Col 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] ALL in the NAME of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

In Acts 18 Apostle Paul Says Apollos only knew the baptism of John. In Acts 19 having met disciples of John.  Paul "re-baptized" them in the Name of Jesus Christ.

Jesus said "He that Believeth and is baptized shall be saved"

Acts 8:12 When they believed they were baptized

Acts 18:8 When they believed they were baptized

Acts 16:14 When Lydia attended to the things spoken by Paul she and her household were baptized 

Paul said I am willing to die for the NAME of Jesus

Act 21:13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

We are washed, sanctified, justified by the NAME

1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

The Name of the Father is Jesus. Jesus said I come in my father's name. He said he was given his name by inheritance. 

John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost baptism is a powerless tradition. Casting out devils must be done in the name of Jesus Christ. You cannot cast out devils in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost nor can you wash away sins by those titles. Remission of sins only takes place by the Name of Jesus Christ.

Act 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

River Of Living Water

Hello everyone.  Praise the Lord!

This is a story recorded by William J Seymour, in his newsletter, published by the Azusa Street Mission, in November 1906.

In the 4th chapter of John, the words come, "Jesus answered and said unto her, if thou knewest the gift of God and who it is that say it to thee Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of Him and He would have given the living water." Praise God for the living waters today that flow freely, For it comes from God to every hungry and thirsty heart. Jesus said, "He that believeth on me, That's the Scripture hath said, Out of his inmost being shall flow rivers of living waters." Then we are able to go in the mighty name of Jesus to the ends of the earth and water dry places, deserts in solitary places, until these parched, sad, lonely hearts are made to rejoice in the God of their salvation. We want the rivers today. Hallelujah! Glory to God in the highest!

In Jesus Christ we get forgiveness of sin, And we get sanctification of our spirit, soul, and body, And upon that we get the gift of the Holy Ghost that Jesus promised to his disciples, The promise of the Father. All this we get through the atonement. Hallelujah!

The prophet said that he had borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, we're chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed. So we get healing, health, salvation, joy, life- Everything in Jesus. Glory to God!

There are many wells today, but they are dry. There are many hungry souls today that are empty. But let us come to Jesus and take Him at His word and we will find wells of salvation, and be able to draw waters out of the well of salvation, For Jesus is that well.

At this time Jesus was weary from a long journey, and He said on the well in Samaria, and a woman came to draw water. He asked her for a drink. She answered, "how is it that thou being a Jew askest drink of me who am a woman of Samaria, for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans?" Jesus said, "if thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him and he would have given the living water."

O, how sweet it is to see Jesus, The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, My great sacrifice that God had given to a lost, dying, and benighted world, sitting on the well and talking with the woman; so gentle, so meek, and so kind that it gave her an appetite to talk further with Him, until He got into her secret and uncovered her life. Then she was pricked in her heart, confess your sins and received pardon, cleansing from fornication and adultery, was washed from stain and guilt of sin and was made a child of God, and above all, received the well of salvation in her heart. It was so sweet and joyful and good.

Her heart was so filled with love that she felt she could take in a whole lost world. So she ran away with a well on salvation and left the old water pot on the well. How true it is in this day, when we get the baptism with the Holy Spirit, we have something to tell, and it is that the blood of Jesus Christ cleans it from all sin. The baptism with the Holy Ghost gives us power to testify to a risen, resurrected Savior. Are affections are in Jesus Christ, The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world. How I worship Him today! How I praise him for the all cleansing blood!

Jesus' promises are true and sure. The woman said to Him, after He had uncovered her secret, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art a prophet." Yes, He was a prophet. He was that great profit that Moses said the Lord would raise up. He is here today. Will we be taught of that prophet? Will we hear Him? Let us accept Him in all his fullness.

He said, "He that believeth on me, The works that I do shall he do also, And greater works that these shall ye do, because I go unto my Father." These disciples to whom He was speaking, had been saved, sanctified, anointed with the Holy Spirit, Their hearts had been open to understand the Scriptures, And yet Jesus said, "Tarry ye, In the city of Jerusalem, until you be endued with power from on high." "John truly baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence." So the same commission comes to us. We find that they are obeyed his commission and were all filled with the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost, And Peter standing up, said, "this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel."

Dear loved ones, we preach the same sermon. "This is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel, And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh, And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, And your old man shall dream dreams; And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit, And they shall prophesy. The promise is unto you, And to your children, and to all that are afar off, Even as many as the Lord our God shall call." That means until now and to last until Jesus comes.

There are so many people today like the woman. They are controlled by the fathers. Our salvation is not in some father or human instrument. It is sad to see people so blinded, worshiping the creature more than the Creator. Listen to what the woman said, "our fathers worshiped in this mountain, And you say that in Jerusalem is the place where men out to worship." So many people today are worshiping in the mountains, big churches, stone and frame buildings. But Jesus teaches that salvation is not in these stone structures- not in the mountains- not in the hills, but in God. For God is a Spirit. 

Jesus said unto her, "Woman, Believe Me, The hour cometh and is now is, when he shall neither in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem worship the Father." So many people today are controlled by men. There's salvation reaches out no further than the boundary line of human creeds, but praise God for freedom in the Spirit. There are depths and heights and breadths that we can reach through the power of the blessed Spirit. "Eye have not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things that God has prepared for them that love him.

The Jews were the religious leaders at the time, And people had no more light upon salvation than the Jews gave them. The Jews were God's chosen people to evangelize the world. He had entrusted them to give all nations the true knowledge of God, but they went into traditions and doctrines of men, And we're blinded and in the dark. Jesus came as the light of the world, And He is that Light. "If we walk in the Light as he is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, And the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanses us from all sin." Let us honor the Spirit, for Jesus has sent Him to teach in to lead us into all truth.

Above all, let us honor the blood of Jesus Christ every moment of our lives, And we will be sweet in our souls. We will be able to talk of this common salvation to everyone that we meet. God will let his anointing rest upon us and telling them of this precious truth. This truth belongs to God. We have no right to tax anyone for the truth, because God has entrusted us with it to tell it. Freely we receive, freely we give. So the gospel is to be preached freely, And God will bless it and spread it Himself, And we have experienced that He does, we have found Him true to His promise all the way. We have tried Him and proved Him. His promises are sure.
