Should I follow the Apostles Doctrine, the Doctrine of Christ, or the Doctrine of God?

Acts 2:42

This scripture is used by the Apostolic Church to identify their doctrine and their church. The apostles’ doctrine is used interchangeable with the doctrine of God (Titus 2:10) and the doctrine of Christ (2 John 1:9), which means the doctrine that was taught to the apostles by Christ who is God. Therefore, the doctrine of Christ is the doctrine of God. Matthew 7:28,
Romans 16:17-18, Ephesians 4:11-14.

Many Christians don’t understand why Churches have the word “Apostolic” in the name of their Churches. To learn more about the Apostolic doctrine, I would suggest that you research Oneness Apostolic Churches. Apostolic means – those Christians who follow the doctrine of the apostles which is the doctrine of Christ/doctrine of God. It is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, repentance, remission of sins, receiving the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues and the baptism in Jesus name as directed by Peter and the apostles (Acts 2:38-42, Acts 19:1-5, Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12).

Kindle, Wi-Fi, 6" E Ink Pearl DisplayAccording to believers who follow the apostles doctrine, if anyone would call themselves Apostolic and don’t baptize in Jesus name, they are not true Apostolics, in the strictest sense of the word and have strayed from the faith (Acts 8:14-17). They don’t understand the mystery of Christ (Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38). There are three baptisms (Hebrews 6:2);

1st Key: Baptism of repentance (Natural-Mark 1:4 - Baptism by John, fulfilled in Acts 2:38)

2nd Key The baptism in Jesus name (Natural & Spiritual) (fulfilled in Acts 2:38)

3rd Key The baptism of the Holy Ghost (Spiritual) (Luke 3:16)(fulfilled in Acts 2:38).

The reference to the baptism of repentance, baptism in Jesus name, and baptism in the Holy Ghost is fulfilled in the water baptism in Jesus name (Acts 2:38, Ephesians 4:5, Colossians 2:10-12). Note: These baptisms is one operation of one baptism in Jesus name and they are also “the keys of the kingdom of heaven” that Jesus gave to Peter (Matthew 16:18-19). The baptism in Jesus Name is the “rock” upon which the church is built and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Acts 2:38 is the real “born again” scripture, for it is the only scripture that has all of the elements of the gospel message (water and Spirit – John 3:5). (The commission: Matthew 28:19, Fulfilled: Acts 2:38 – The name in Matthew 28:19 is revealed as Jesus Christ in Acts 2:38. Jesus Christ is the everlasting Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:23, John 1:10, Colossians 1:19, 2:9, II Corinthians 5:19, Revelation 1:8)

Therefore, when there is any mention of baptism, that one baptism is in water and Spirit in Jesus name. Refer: Book of Acts 8:35-39, Mark 16:16. There is no other name whereby we must be saved except through the name of Jesus Christ by baptism (Acts 4:12, 19:1-5, Colossians 3:17). The scriptures are extremely plain and soft spoken to those that believe. For unbelievers, this is a hard saying and they will try to explain it away by their own traditions of unbelief. Not realizing that they are being used by the spirit of the antichrist - against Christ and the Word of God.

Don’t find it strange that some don’t believe in the baptism in Jesus name. Everybody didn’t believe Jesus when he walked on the earth, neither did everyone believe the apostles. The Priests, Scribes, Pharisees and the “so called educated people” thought the apostles were unlearned men so they wouldn’t listen to them. However, they did recognize that they had been with Jesus.

I don’t expect everyone to believe because only God can give his revelation, mystery, and knowledge of Jesus Christ. There will be people whom you respect for their intelligence and leadership abilities but they won’t believe the Word of God nor will they understand what you are showing them.

God has not given his mystery to the ones who think that they are so wise, educated, and intelligent. God has given his mystery to babes in Christ. God will give his revelation to anyone who has a heart for Christ and the ones who would diligently seek to know the mystery and knowledge of Him. You might feel very sad that these educated people won’t believe. But you must remember; God gave you the revelation and mystery of Christ and it’s time for you to live in the light that God has given you. You must go on and believe the Word of God and follow the directions of the apostles, especially the born again scripture in Acts 2:38, which is the Rock and foundation of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

If people won’t believe God and the instructions he gave to Peter, God has the wisdom to deal with their unbelief. I would suggest that you show them the Word, pray for them and move on lest you fall into the same traditions of unbelief and philosophies of men (Colossians 2:8-12). Don’t try to pull them along, they will not be able to see the mystery of Christ because of their unbelief. Satan doesn’t want you to understand the oneness of God which is in the body of Christ nor does he want you to understand the plan of salvation as it relates to John 3:5 and Acts 2:38.

Satan trembles at the very thought of the oneness of God and he will use the people you respect to dissuade you from the belief in the oneness of God and the knowledge and mystery of Christ (James 2:19-23). The people you respect have faith without works. The works is the baptism in Jesus name. You must show your faith with works by the baptism in Jesus name. If they won’t hear you, knock the dust off your feet and move on, they can’t see neither can they hear because their unbelief has seared their consciousness. They won’t realize that they are in error and they don’t understand. Pray for them and move on.

Who was Apollos and what is "the more perfect way?"


A More Perfect Way - A Story about Apollos


Paul stayed in Corinth with Aquila and Priscilla for a year and a half and worked with them because he was also a tent maker. After a year and a half, Paul moved with them to Ephesus where Aquila and Priscilla offered their home to the Christians for church service. While in Ephesus, Aquila and Priscilla met Apollos who was speaking in the synagogue about the gospel that John had taught him concerning repentance and baptism. When they heard him speak, they took him aside and taught him the way of God more perfectly (Acts 18:24-26).

What was the more perfect way? The more perfect way taught by Aquila and Priscilla was that Jesus is God, “the Christ,” and that the disciples of Apollos should be baptized in Jesus name, rather than the baptism of repentance taught by John. When Apollos went to the brethren in Achaia, he convinced the Jews, by the scriptures that Jesus was God, the Christ. (Acts 18:28).

Aquila and Priscilla risked their lives for the gospel that Paul was preaching because they knew Paul was right according to the scriptures. Paul preached that Jesus was God (“The Christ”) and you must repent, be baptized in Jesus name and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit according to Peter (Acts 2:38) and Paul (Acts 19:1-5). Aquila and Priscilla believed Paul’s teachings were right according to the scriptures, therefore, they were willing to suffer with him. Paul acknowledged their hard work and gave thanks to them for their sacrifice (Romans 16:3-4).

Paul Teaches the baptism in Jesus name (Acts 18:8, 19:1-5, Acts 19:1-5, Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12)

When Paul started his teaching mission to the Gentiles, he came to Corinth and approved the baptism of Crispus and many of the Corinthians, who believed on the Lord. They baptized them in the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 4:12, I Corinthians 1:9-31-Trinity?).

We know Paul approved the baptism of the Corinthians in Jesus name because that was the only way he had people baptized. For example, When Paul was traveling the upper coasts of Ephesus he found 12 disciples of John and Apollos. Paul asked them if they had received the Holy Ghost since they believed. The disciples hadn’t heard about the Holy Ghost.

Therefore, Paul asked them about their baptism because when the saints were taught about salvation and receiving the Holy Spirit, they were taught to be baptized in Jesus name.

The disciples explained that they were baptized unto John’s baptism. Paul explained to the disciples that John baptized unto repentance and they should believe on the one who would come after John. When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Let me ask you a question? Why would these disciples get baptized in Jesus name without giving reasons why they should not? The reason: They believed on the name of the Lord Jesus and got baptized in Jesus name without question because there is no other name whereby we are saved. Why are today’s Christians so critical about the Jesus name baptism? The reason is that the spirit of the anti-christ is in the world today and that spirit is against anything associated with Jesus name, including baptism in the name of the Lord(Acts 19:1-5).

According to Paul’s teachings we are to search the scriptures to find out whether Jesus is God and to understand that we should repent, be baptized in Jesus name, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Listen, Paul’s teaching is the same gospel that Peter preached on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:14-38). And this gospel of Jesus Christ is the same gospel that was taught to Apollos by Aquila and Priscilla who were disciples of Paul.

Today: You can learn “a more perfect way” through your personal research of the scriptures. You will also learn about the faith, actions, and teachings of the apostles as mentioned in the book of Acts. Use the King James version of the Bible as your primary reference.

We would have to search for ourselves to see if we are really teaching as Paul taught the Jews in the synagogues or are we teaching a doctrine based on the traditions of men? All Pastors, preachers, teachers, evangelist and scholars; should search the scriptures and follow the lead of Apollos and understand that there is “a more perfect way.”

Let’s understand that preachers have not all obeyed the gospel. Romans 10:14-16. Firstly, let’s discuss Apollos and his life so that we canunderstand who he was, why he was open to learning more about Jesus, and the meaning of “a more perfect way.”

Apollos was a Jew from Alexandria, Egypt

Jews for the most part, wrote the Bible and started Christianity. However in these last days Christianity has been perverted by the Gentiles who started bringing in a pagan styled “three person” concept of who God is; in conjunction with their traditions of men (Colossians 2:8-12). There is no "there persons" in God based on the "Shema". Jews, Muslims and true oneness Christians believe that God is strictly monotheistic with no other persons with him. (Isaiah 44:24).

However, there are preachers who are like Apollos and would like to learn more about the gospel of Christ so that they might follow the dictates of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of the apostles. Some pastors and preachers of today also want to find a more perfect way. They are willing to drop their philosophy and traditions of men for the true gospel of Jesus Christ.

Apollos was an eloquent man who was well versed in the Old testament scriptures. He wanted to find out whether all things that he was learning were true. Apollos being a Jew, understood the oneness of God and he knew, based on his training, that Jesus would be the same God who spoke to the prophets out of heaven in the Old Testament (Corinthians 10:4).

Apollos was an exciting man, a preacher and missionary who was fervent in the spirit. He taught the things of the Lord and that the coming of the Kingdom of God was near. Based on his knowledge of the scriptures, Apollos taught his followers that John was the one crying in the wilderness and people should come to repentance and be baptized according to John’s baptism.

The only thing that Apollos knew was what John had taught him (Acts 18:24-26). He knew that the person of whom John would identify, would be God, “the Christ.” The Jews only believe in one God, and that one God, they knew; would be the Christ, in the form of a man (Isaiah 9:6).

Look at these scriptures, Isaiah 40:3, Matthew 3:3, John 1:1-14. We know that; not only is Jesus the one Lord (Ephesians 4:5, Isaiah 41:4, Luke 2:11, Revelation 1:11) but he is also the one God Almighty (Isaiah 9:6, 40:5, 41:10-11, 48:12, Revelation 1:8). Apollos knew based on John’s teachings that Jesus, who is called “The Christ,” would be the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, no question about it.

Once Apollos found out from Aquila and Priscilla that one should be baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Spirit; he started teaching the disciples of John that there was “a more perfect way.” (Acts 18:28).

We know that the baptism in Jesus name and receiving the Holy Spirit was taught to Apollos because Aquila and Priscilla were disciples of Paul who taught the same gospel everywhere he went (Acts 19:1-5). Therefore, Apollos becomes a disciple of Paul through Aquila and Priscilla. He started preaching the same things (Jesus is God, “The Christ” and the baptism in Jesus name was right and that John’s baptism was a forerunner to the real baptism in Christ).

In the same manner as Apollos, preachers today are eloquent, speak well, articulate, strong in the scriptures and men of God who have walked with the Lord for years. However, they need to know “a more perfect way” as it was taught by Paul and the apostles.

A number of modern day preachers have received training in the Old and New Testaments. Being strong in the scriptures they should search the scriptures further. With the new light of the scriptures, Bible scholars will see the same things in the scriptures that was revealed to Apollos, Peter, Paul, Aquila and Priscilla.

Today preachers should search for the oneness of God and “How to be Born Again,” in the New Testament. They should search the scriptures to find out whether these things are true or not (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38).

Warning: If it were possible, Satan will deceive the very elect.

Most Churches today are in a state of apostasy – meaning the turning away from an original concept, belief, or doctrine. These Churches are not teaching the apostles doctrine as taught by Paul and the apostles. They teach a doctrine called the “Trinitarian doctrine", which is not in the Bible. The Trinity of God is "an assumption", "a figment of man's imagination."

The Trinitarian doctrine sounds possible based on our limited human knowledge of who God is. However, to the elect, the Trinitarian doctrine is not a concept of who God is. The Trinity is totally unscriptural and confusing. It can’t be explained, as a matter of fact, it’s impossible to explain, and it can’t be understood based on the scriptures.

Satan has tried to deceive the very elect with this Trinitarian doctrine - if it were possible. We can see Satan’s wicked devices and they have not worked. God is still in control and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the solid rock which is the baptism in Jesus name upon which the church is built (Matthew 16:18).

I challenge anyone to explain the Trinity using the scriptures without interjecting their personal belief, traditions or interpretations. It is impossible to explain. Let me give you a simple research project. Search the Bible and see if you can find any scripture anywhere that defines God as three persons. Let me give you the answer for your convenience. There are no scriptures that refer to God as “three persons.” There are not “three gods in one nor three persons in one God.” There is only one God - period. Ask the Jews and the Muslims and they will set you straight. Judaism, Islam, and true apostolic oneness Christianity are strictly monotheistic. Perverted Christianity is the "Trinitarian Doctrine" (Nicaean Council 325 A.D.).

The total salvation of man was carried out by one God who manifested himself in three different forms (I Timothy 3:16). Moses said there is one God, the Prophets said it, the apostles said it, and God himself said it. That settles the question of the absolute oneness of God.

Why don’t people, whether they are preachers, teaches or theologians, believe there is only one God? Who told them that God has three persons residing in his Deity? The reason people won’t believe in the total oneness of God is because they won’t accept the Deity of Jesus Christ (God himself -John 1:1-14, 14:9, Revelation 1:8). They can’t accept the notion that Jesus is the Father of creation, Son in redemption, and the Holy Ghost as an indwelling Spirit. The problem is the unbelief that Jesus Christ is the one and only true God of heaven and earth. Jesus Christ is the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 28:19, John 14:6-9, 17-18, Acts 2:38).

As aforementioned, there are preachers, teachers and evangelists who will tell you, if anyone challenges the Trinitarian doctrine, don’t listen to them.

Listen very carefully, Satan don’t want you to disapprove of the Trinitarian doctrine. The reason Trinitarians don’t want you to listen to anyone is because it would challenge their own concept of the three persons of God. They can’t explain their own belief in one God in light of the Trinitarian doctrine because it is not a sound doctrine (II Timothy 4:3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
(Titus 1:9) Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
(Titus 2:1) But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:. Trinitarians would say that nobody can explain the Trinity, it’s a mystery of God. And they are absolutely correct. The Trinity can not be explained nor understood because God didn't say it.

Guess what? Even if they tried to explain the Trinity, you wouldn’t understand it. They would say, well this is just a mystery of God that nobody understands. Not true, the mystery of God can be explained and it’s all over the Old and New Testament. Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone and foundation of the Holy Scriptures (Matthew 16:18). The rock is the baptism in Jesus name and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Search for the Deity of Jesus Christ and you will find the oneness of the Almighty God (Revelation 1:8).

Warning: This statement is a trick of Satan; “The Trinitarian doctrine should not be challenged.”

That’s not true. Of course the Trinitarian doctrine can be challenged because it is not a doctrine of God, it is a doctrine of men. The Trinity was conceived and established by men at the Nicaean Council in 325 A.D. after contentions among the Catholic priests. This doctrine of the Trinity developed over the centuries and we, as Protestants, have grown to believe that this doctrine is the truth of God's Word. God never spoke of this doctrine and it’s not mentioned by Paul nor any of the apostles.

Therefore, the Trinity can be challenged because it’s not in the Bible. Not challenging nor questioning the Trinitarian doctrine is a device that Satan uses to keep the Church blind to the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Trinitarian doctrine can’t be logically nor scripturally explained. It is based on philosophy, vain deceit and it is a doctrine that is a tradition of men (Colossians 2:8-10). Look up the origin of the Trinity in your Public Library.

The Trinitarian doctrine is so convincing that this concept would deceive the very elect if it were possible (Matthew 24:24). There will be many who will not believe the gospel of Christ, the oneness of God, nor the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ because of the false traditional teachings of the Trinitarian doctrine.

Through my experience, I have found that the main concern with Trinitarians is their understanding of the Deity of Christ and the baptism in Jesus name. There are some who would say that they love the Lord and they will follow God’s Word. However, they won’t believe nor follow the Word of God concerning baptism. They don’t want you to preach or teach the baptism in Jesus Name. They will throw you out of their Churches because they don’t believe in the Deity of Christ and the oneness of God, especially if it’s in Jesus name. They profess Jesus Christ but they don’t want to be totally associated nor identified with his name by baptism. This unbelief in the baptism in Jesus name is the spirit of the antichrist (against Jesus name).

The gospel that we teach is the same gospel taught by Peter, Paul, and the apostles and it has the same affect on unbelievers today as it did in the days of the apostles. God allows us to see those who are none of his. For they wrestle with the scriptures because of their unbelief (II Peter 3:16).

Under what name should I be baptized? (Acts 4:12, Colossians 3:17)


I Corinthians 1:6-31

Under what name were you baptized? This is another occasion wherein Paul admonishes the saints to speak the same things. The Church had started to be divided because some of the saints were talking about whose teaching and whose discipleship they were under. Paul let them understand that Christ is not divided, and he, Paul, was not crucified for them. Verse 13-15. Paul lets them know that they were not baptized in the name of Paul.

This lets us know that the baptisms were carried out in a person’s name. Therefore, Paul is giving us an indication that the apostles baptized in the name of Jesus Christ because Jesus Christ is the one who was crucified for their sins (Acts 2:38, 4:12, Colossians 3:17).

Jesus will destroy the wisdom of the wise. How will Jesus destroy the wisdom of the wise? We have theologians, writers, unbelievers and disputers who will try to use the wisdom of this world to prove that Jesus is not the one and only true God (Revelation 1:8). They will for example, use the Trinitarian doctrine to try to prove that there are three persons in God and that Jesus Christ is just one of the three.

Paul says in II Thessalonians 2:9-11 that Satan will deceived them because they would not believe. God will send them strong delusions so that they will believe a lie rather than the truth. God will take the knowledge of all these brilliant theologians, scholars, professors, preachers and evangelists who don’t believe Jesus is the only God and show them how foolish they are. These “so called,” brilliant minds will try to explain who Jesus is and how to be born again. Not realizing that their teachings are the complete opposite to the teaching of Paul and the apostles (Galatians 1:8-9).

In Romans 16:17-18, Paul warns us to avoid them because they don’t serve our Lord Jesus Christ. They will have great speeches which will satisfy themselves. These same speeches will also deceive simple people. In II Timothy 4:10, Paul wrote to Timothy that there would come a time when they won’t endure sound doctrine and they will turn away from the truth and will believe fables. The Trinitarian doctrine is a doctrine of fables. It is not a sound doctrine, its not in the Bible, it can’t be explained and it can’t be understood. This paganistic doctrine is not a cohesive doctrine.

The foundation of the Trinitarian doctrine is that there are three persons that make one. It’s incomprehensible how scholars can believe in such a doctrine because it’s definitely not true. Simple logic tells us that three persons can’t be one God. There is only one God and one Person in the Godhead – period. (Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 2:8-9). How many times must God say it? When will we believe God’s report? Three persons in one God is "an assumption", "a figment of man's imagination" made at the Nicean Council 325AD. God never said He is three persons and the apostles never taught nor heard of a trinitarian doctrine (Galatians 1:8-9).

Look at Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, Hebrews 1:3. Do you see one Lord and one Person? Why is it that scholars and theologians will try to develop their own method of salvation, using a Trinitarian formula in speech and baptism? They will tell you, all you have to do is to say, “Lord Jesus come into my life,” and you are saved. They don’t say anything about repentance, baptism in Jesus name for remission of sins, nor the reception of the Holy Spirit according to the first act of salvation in Acts 2:38. They will baptize in the titles of God and not his name because they don’t know him. – Matthew 28:19. God’s method of salvation is foolishness to them.

They have perverted the gospel and the foundation which is based on the name of Jesus Christ "Baptism in Jesus name" is “The Rock of our salvation" and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the baptism in Jesus name. (Matthew 16:18-19)

Jesus Christ is the only God and the only name whereby we must be saved. Again, Jesus Christ being the only God and that you must be baptized in his name is foolishness to them that are without. They will never understand who Jesus is because of their traditions of unbelief. (I Corinthians 1:20, 2:14, Colossians 1:19, 2:8-9).

In the end, Jesus will destroy the wisdom of the wise and prudent and make them look like fools. He will prove that there is one God and that he is that one God and his name is Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour (Isaiah 43:10-13, Luke 2:11, I Corinthians 10:4, Acts 9:5). If Jesus Christ has to prove the gospel to you at his coming, how will you explain your unbelief at the time of his visitation?

The wisdom of this world doesn’t know God, therefore, he will tell them who he is by the foolishness of preaching and it will please the Lord to save them that believe. Why is preaching foolishness? (I Corinthians 2:7). It’s foolish because believers already know and understand that salvation is in Jesus name and that Jesus is the only true God (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1-14, I Timothy 3:16, I John 5:20, Jude 25, Revelation 1:8, 22:13). Preaching is for sinners to come to Christ and he will save them if they believe. On the other hand, if you don’t believe, preaching won’t help you (Mark 16:16).

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: What is the Apostles doctrine vs the doctrine of C...: The doctrine of Christ/God is based on the oneness of God and the one Lord Jesus Christ. The apostles doctrine and the doctrine of Christ ...

What is the Apostles doctrine vs the doctrine of Christ/God?


The doctrine of Christ/God is based on the oneness of God and the one Lord Jesus Christ. The apostles doctrine and the doctrine of Christ is the belief that Jesus is the one Lord, “The Christ - The Messiah,” being born again, repentance, using the name of Jesus Christ in baptism for remission of sins and receiving the Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ who is the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). The whole gospel message is based on the name of Jesus Christ, which is called the apostles doctrine, the doctrine of Christ and the doctrine of God. These doctrine are used interchangeably in the scriptures.

The apostles doctrine is based on the name and doctrine of Christ because Jesus Christ is the one God who is also our Saviour, (Isaiah 43:3, 11, Luke 2:11), the mighty God, the everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6), the Son of God, “The Christ-Messiah,” the Lord and God, (Isaiah 40:3, Matthew 3:3, Mark 12:29, John 20:28), The Holy Ghost (John 14:26) our Shepherd, our High Priest, the Lamb of God (John 1:29, Revelation 15:3 – The Lamb is God Almighty), our Rock, (I Corinthians 10:4), the Chief corner stone, a sure foundation, the Holy One of Israel (Isaiah 30:12, 15, 43:3, 14), King of Kings, Lord of Lords, (Revelation 19:16) Prince of Peace, (Isaiah 9:6), the only wise God our Saviour, (Isaiah 43:14, Luke 1:47, 2:11, Romans 16:27, Jude 1:25), the Almighty God (Revelation 1:8,11, 22:13). In conclusion, the apostles doctrine is a sure foundation, which is based on the doctrine of Christ/God is based on one God and one name-Jesus Christ-Jehovah Saviour.

Unbelievers don't understand the apostles doctrine, therefore, Paul says to mark them and stay away because they are unbelievers, they don’t have the revelation nor mystery of Christ, and they don’t follow the doctrine of Christ as taught by the apostles (Acts 2:38, Galatians 1:6-12).

Can the Trinity be explained in the New Testament?


Romans 15:4-6

First let me say that there are some scriptures that seem to contradict the oneness of God. This is one. Some verbiage is used to clarify other parts of God’s Word. For example, the Spirit is the Father of the Son. Once we have a thorough knowledge of who God is, then we can better understand the New Testament as it relates to one God.

Let me give you another example of the dual nature of God. This scripture tells us that we should have the same mind and glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The explanation of this scripture is that we should glorify the Spirit which begot the Son. The Spirit is the Father of the Son, the manifested flesh of God. Once we understand the relationship of the Spirit of God and his nature as a man, we will get a different understanding of the operations of God.

Now let’s look at it again. “We should glorify God, even the Father (Spirit) of our Lord Jesus Christ (flesh).” This is a short scripture with a powerful message. It shows the relationship between the dual nature of a Holy God. God is fully God and fully man, at the same time, in one Person (John 1:1,3, 10,14, John 10:30-33, Colossians 1:19, 2:9, II Corinthians 5:19, I Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 1:3,8).

I’m always concerned when someone doesn’t believe the Word of God because God tells us through his Word that we should mark them because they don't understand the mystery and oneness of the one Lord God Almighty - Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:8).

Romans 16:17-27

Mark them which cause divisions and offenses. This is another powerful scripture by Paul in the congregation of many of his brethren in Christ. Paul had a serious concern that the gospel would be perverted by unbelievers who would try to change the doctrine of Christ. Paul was so concerned about this perversion that he told his brethren to avoid them. Again Paul admonishes us to speak the same thing (I Corinthians 1:9-16). What does that have to do with the gospel today?

The gospel of Jesus Christ as taught by Paul and the apostles has been perverted by a doctrine called, “The doctrine of the Trinity.” This doctrine preaches that there are three persons or three personalities in One God (Galatians 1:8-9).

The Trinitarian doctrine teaches that you should confess with your mouth and believe in your heart and you will be saved, and that you should be baptized in the titles of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and not in the name of Jesus Christ. This is a perversion of the gospel of Christ (Matthew 15:7-9).

The Trinitarian doctrine can’t be explained nor understood because it is based on the philosophy of men and not on the doctrine of Christ (Mark 7:6-9, Galatians 1:6-12, Colossians 2:8-10). How could educated men try to teach a doctrine that is not in the Bible and doesn't have a solid foundation?

The Trinitarian doctrine is a doctrine that is not based on the doctrine of Christ, rather, it is a doctrine based on a three person God. That type doctrine, which Paul didn't preach, is "paganism" which has nothing to do with the oneness of God (Galatians 1:8-9).

I have never seen nor heard of a preacher, teacher, scholar, prophet, evangelist, theologian, etc., who could fully explain “The Trinity” using the scriptures. The true doctrine of Jesus Christ is mentioned in the scriptures and they are used interchangeably. They are the apostles doctrine, (Acts 2:42) doctrine of baptisms, (Hebrews 6:2) the doctrine of Christ (Hebrews 6:1) and the doctrine of God (Titus 2:10).

Look all through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and you will find that the Trinitarian doctrine is a doctrine and philosophy of men put together at the Nicean Council of Catholic Bishops 325AD, long after Paul and the apostles preached the true gospel of Jesus Christ (Mark 7:6-13, Colossians 2:8-10)Reference: Church history at the Public Library.

Paul never heard of a Trinitarian doctrine and it’s not in the Bible. The Trinitarian doctrine is not a sound doctrine. It can’t be understood, it’s unexplainable, and it is unscriptural (Galatians 1:8-12). Those preachers, teachers, and theologians aren't rightly dividing the Word of God in the New Testament.

All of the scriptures that are used to try to explain the Trinity are "assumptions" that God is three persons. In addition, their understandings are "a figment of man's imagination". God never said he is three persons. God is God alone. He is and always has been one God and one Person (Isaiah 43:10-12, Luke 2:11, Hebrews 1:3,8, Titus 2:13, Jude 1:25, Revelation 1:8).

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: Can the Trinity be explained?

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: Can the Trinity be explained?: "Romans 15:4-6 First let me say that there are some scriptures that seem to contradict the oneness of God. This is one. Some verbiage is us..."

Can the Trinity be explained?

Romans 15:4-6

First let me say that there are some scriptures that seem to contradict the oneness of God. This is one. Some verbiage is used to clarify other parts of God’s Word. For example, the Spirit is the Father of the Son. Once we have a thorough knowledge of who God is, then we can better understand the New Testament as it relates to one God.

Let me give you another example of the dual nature of God. This scripture tells us that we should have the same mind and glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The explanation of this scripture is that we should glorify the Spirit which begot the Son. The Spirit is the Father of the Son, the manifested flesh of God. Once we understand the relationship of the Spirit of God and his nature as a man, we will get a different understanding of the operations of God.

Now let’s look at it again. “We should glorify God, even the Father (Spirit) of our Lord Jesus Christ (flesh).” This is a short scripture with a powerful message. It shows the relationship between the dual nature of a Holy God. God is fully God and fully man, at the same time, in one Person (John 1:1,3, 10,14, John 10:30-33, Colossians 1:19, 2:9, II Corinthians 5:19, I Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 1:3,8).

I’m always concerned when someone doesn’t believe the Word of God because God tells us through his Word that we should mark them because they don't understand the mystery and oneness of the one Lord God Almighty - Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:8).

Romans 16:17-27

Mark them which cause divisions and offenses. This is another powerful scripture by Paul in the congregation of many of his brethren in Christ. Paul had a serious concern that the gospel would be perverted by unbelievers who would try to change the doctrine of Christ. Paul was so concerned about this perversion that he told his brethren to avoid them. Again Paul admonishes us to speak the same thing (I Corinthians 1:9-16).

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: if I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus am I sav...

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: if I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus am I sav...: "Romans 10:9-10 Confess with thy mouth and be saved. This is a scripture that is true to those that believe but it is used out of context..."

if I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus am I saved? (Romans 10:9-10)


Romans 10:9-10

Confess with thy mouth and be saved. This is a scripture that is true to those that believe but it is used out of context by many of the general Christian population of today.

In this scripute, Paul is talking to the brethren who had already been saved according to Acts 2:38. The only thing Paul is saying to the brethren is that all they had to do was to confess with their mouth, their faith in the death, burial and resurrection Of Jesus Christ and their salvation is assured.

This is not the salvation scripture for sinners. The salvation scripute is Acts 2:38. Acts 2:38 carries out the great commission (Matthew 28:19), the rock upon which salvation is built (baptism in Jesus name) (Matthew 16:18), the keys of the kingdom (Matthew 16:19), and being born again by water and Spirit (John 3:5).

This scripture, Romans 10:9, will make new converts think that they are saved when they are not. This is a stumblingstone for those who don’t understand that the mystery of God centers on Christ. If we as believers - believe in Jesus Christ, we won’t be ashamed when we tell you that you must believe, repent, and be baptized in Jesus name for remission of sins (Romans 9:33, Acts 2:38, 9:1-5, Mark 16:16).

Many preachers and teachers are misguided because they don’t believe that Jesus is the only God, the promised Messiah, God in the flesh (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:14, I Timothy 3:16, Revelation 1:8). Therefore, because of their unbelief and disobedience, they will never suggest that you, a follower, repent, and get baptized in Jesus name for remission of your sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost because they don’t understand the revelation of Jesus Christ (Romans 10:16, Acts 2:38).

Only believers who are converted sinners can call on the name of the Lord and be saved. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved (Mark 16:16).

If one truly believes in Jesus Christ, his death, burial and resurrection, that person would not have a problem getting baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for remission of sins (Acts 2:37-38). Jesus name baptism is a sure foundation and the rock upon which the church is built and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the baptism in Jesus name (Matthew 16:18-19). If you don’t believe that Jesus name will save, then you won’t get baptized in his name.

Some preachers and teachers have a zeal for God but they don’t have the knowledge and mystery of Jesus Christ (Romans 10:2-4). They want to set up their own righteousness by using this scripture (Romans 10:9) and saying that’s all you have to do to be saved (born again) is to “confess with your mouth and believe in your heart” without taking in consideration Peter’s first sermon. We must be born of water and Spirit.

Look at Peter’s first sermon, Acts 2:14-41. Peter made known that Jesus Christ is the end of the law for righteousness and he explained what we must do to be saved, if we believe in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name whereby we must be saved. For every one who believes; Jesus Christ is a sure foundation, whether it be in baptism, works, deeds, activities, etc. Whatever we do in word or deed, we should do it all in Jesus name (Colossians 3:17). Thus, the Jesus name baptism establishes a sure foundation (John 8:12).

Peter told us what we must do to be saved. Why would we establish our own righteousness by repeating this “statement of salvation” and telling new converts they are O.K? (Romans 10:3). These same preachers/teachers don’t know God, neither do they know that Jesus Christ, God’s highest name, is the end of the law of righteousness (Romans 10:4). If they would only believe God’s Word and search the scriptures for themselves, God will reveal these things to them (Matthew 28:18,19, John 3:5, Acts 2:37, 38). We must not be ignorant of this mystery.

Roman 11:20-25

Let’s explore how important it is for you to know the mystery of Christ. Paul explains to the Gentiles that they are grafted into the faith by their belief in Jesus Christ. Paul goes on to say that God will cut off unbelievers just like he cut off the natural branches (the Jews) because of their unbelief.

God is good and because of his goodness, he will allow you to express your belief in him by your actions as instructed by Peter. Once you have followed God’s direction through Peter, God will restore you back into the faith (Acts 2:38).

You must believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, the Saviour, the oneness of God, the revelation that Jesus is God, and you must believe in the “keys” that were given to Peter and how they were used in Acts 2:37-38 to open the door to the church. If you don’t understand the mystery of who Jesus is, you will find other ways to try to be saved rather than follow the instructions given by Peter. If you don’t understand the mystery, you won’t believe that Jesus is the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (Colossians 1:19, 2:8-10).

Therefore, you will try to come up another way to be saved (John 10:1). Thus you will never get baptized in Jesus name for remission of sins because of unbelief. For example, “Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, believe in your heart, and you will be saved.” This statement doesn’t have any indication of baptism in the name of Jesus, repentance, remission of sins, nor receiving the Holy Spirit. It doesn’t speak of the water nor the Spirit (St. John 3:5).

Water and Spirit are the main tenets of salvation and the born again experience. No one can have the complete born again experience unless they repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remissions of sins (water) and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost/Spirit (Spirit) (Acts 2:28). If you take this scripture, Romans 10:9, out of context, then you don’t know nor understand the mystery of Christ nor how to be born again.

Thus, you will get lost in your own philosophy, deceit, and tradition of men, after the rudiments of this world and not after Christ. (Colossians 2:8-10). Romans 10:9 is true for believers who are going on to perfection and continuing in the faith. This is not a born again scripture for sinners. There are some scriptures that seem to contradict each other but we must understand the context and the oneness of God not to be saved but to understand the method of salvation.

If you confess with your mouth are you saved?


Romans 10:9-13

Confess with thy mouth and be saved. This is another scripture that is true to those that believe but it is used out of context by many of the general Christian population. In this scripture Paul is not speaking to sinners nor is he explaining how to be born again.  Paul is telling the brethren who were already saved that they must confess with their mouth and believe the gospel message and their salvation is assured.

This scripture will make potential new converts think that they are saved when they are not. This is a stumblingstone for those who don’t understand that the mystery of God centers on Christ. If we as believers - believe in Christ, we won’t be ashamed when we tell you that you must believe, repent, and be baptized in Jesus name for remission of sins and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Romans 9:33, Acts 2:38).

Only believers, converted sinners, in the name of Jesus Christ can call on the name of the Lord and be saved. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved (Mark 16:16). If one truly believes in Jesus Christ, his death, burial and resurrection, that person would not have a problem getting baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for remission of sins (Acts 2:37-38). Jesus name is a sure foundation. If you don’t believe that Jesus name will save, then you won’t get baptized in his name.

Some preachers and teachers have a zeal for God but they don’t have the knowledge and mystery of Christ (Romans 10:2-4). They want to set up their own righteousness, or come up some other way, by using this scripture and saying that’s all you have to do to be saved (born again) is to “confess with your mouth and believe in your heart” without taking in consideration Peter’s first sermon about water and Spirit.

Peter told us what we must do to be saved. Why would we establish our own righteousness by repeating this “statement of salvation” and telling new converts they are O.K? (Romans 10:3).

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: Is the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, an...: "Romans 8:9-11 Spirit of Christ/Spirit of God. This scripture is important. This scripture will show you that the name of the Holy Ghost is..."

Is the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit of God the same Spirit?


Romans 8:9-11

Spirit of Christ/Spirit of God. This scripture is important. This scripture will show you that the name of the Holy Ghost is Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19). It tells us that the Spirit of God dwells in us. And then it says that if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. The Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ are written in the same verse because they are the same Spirit. Therefore;

1. The Spirit of God is - Jesus Christ

2. The Spirit of Christ is – Jesus Christ

3. The Holy Spirit is – Jesus Christ (Spirit of God/Christ which dwells in us)(One Spirit, same God - Jesus Christ).

Jesus Christ, God’s highest name, is a sure foundation (Corinthians 10:4, Acts 9:12, 4:12). The Spirit of God, the Spirit of Christ and the Holy Spirit are used interchangeable throughout the scriptures. The Spirit of Christ is God, therefore, Jesus Christ is God and the one Lord (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11).

Verse 11. But if the Spirit of him (Spirit of God) that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, that same Spirit that raised up Christ (Spirit of God) from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit (Spirit of Christ) that dwell in you.

I’m sure you have heard of a tongue twister, well, this seems like a “reading twister.” However, if you can see that Jesus is the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God, then you can begin to see the revelation that Jesus is that one Spirit (Spirit of Christ/God) and that Jesus is the one Lord who is God. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, John 1:10, Revelation 1:8, 22:13).

The Holy Spirit of God, who is Jesus Christ, will raise up his own fleshly body and that same Spirit of God/Christ/Holy Ghost which dwells in our body will also quicken our bodies at the resurrection. This is the Holy Spirit of God also called the Holy Ghost or the Spirit of Christ.

How do we get the Spirit of Jesus Christ in our bodies?  We must follow the actions of the apostles in Acts 2:38, 10:48, etc., We must use the keys of the kingdom of heaven to be born again.  Key #1 Repent, Key#2 be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and Key #3, be filled with the Holy Ghost.  Acts 2:38 is the answer to the great commission (Matthew 28:19), the born again instructions, (John 3:5) and the keys of the kingdom (Matthew 16:18-19).

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: What does buried with him in baptism mean? Romans ...: "Romans 6:3-4 Buried with him in baptism. This is another revelation of Jesus Christ. We are buried into Jesus Christ by the baptism in Jes..."

What does buried with him in baptism mean? Romans 6:3-4


Romans 6:3-4

Buried with him in baptism. This is another revelation of Jesus Christ. We are buried into Jesus Christ by the baptism in Jesus name (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38). This is extremely important because this scripture doesn’t say we are buried (baptized) with the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. Jesus Christ is all three of these manifestations of one God. (Colossians 1:19, 2:9, Hebrews 1:3, I Timothy 3:16).

The name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost is Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are buried with Jesus Christ through baptism in Jesus name, God’s highest name (I Corinthians 10:4, John 1:10, Acts 4:12). There is no other name whereby we must be saved. The name of Jesus Christ, God's highest name, carries the blood that was shed for the remission of our sins. The name and the blood are inseparable.

There have been thousands of people who have been baptized in Jesus name. Ref: Acts 2:41 and the whole book of Acts. On the other hand, nobody has ever been baptized in God’s titles, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Why? Because Jesus told us to be baptized in his name (Matthew 28:19).
 
The apostles always used the name of the Lord in baptism because they knew the mystery of his Godhead and his true identity through revelation (Acts 19:1-5, Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:12, Colossians 1:14-19, 2:8-9). God told us how to be baptized in his name in Matthew 28:19. Then God’s disciples gave us examples throughout the whole book of Acts of how we are to be baptized. In summary, we are buried with him by baptism in Jesus name, the solid rock of our salvation, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against the baptism in Jesus name (Matthew 16:18, Colossians 2:8-12)

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: Did Paul teach the doctrine of the Trinity?

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: Did Paul teach the doctrine of the Trinity?: "Romans 1:1-22 Paul is preaching to the Romans that God has shown them who he is through His manifestation as Jesus Christ (I Timothy 3:16..."

Did Paul teach the doctrine of the Trinity?


Romans 1:1-22

Paul is preaching to the Romans that God has shown them who he is  through His manifestation as Jesus Christ (I Timothy 3:16). They had seen God’s power and Godhead. (Colossians 1:19, 2:8-10, I John 1:1-2). They knew God (Jesus Christ) but they didn’t honor nor glorify Jesus as God and they weren’t even thankful that they knew him.

Note: Their hearts were darkened because they didn’t believe that Jesus was God. Therefore, they lost their understanding of the mystery. They thought they were enlightened and had wisdom about who God is; but they became fools because of their unbelief.

Today, we have become vain in our own imaginations - thinking that God is more than one person through “The doctrine of the Trinity.” The doctrine of the Trinity is foreign to the three major religions, Judaism, Islam, and true Christianity. These major religions are strictly monotheistic, meaning God is absolutely one with no help from any other person. The doctrine of "the Trinity is a figment of man’s imagination" (Colossians 2:8-10). Study the origin of the “Trinity” in the Public Library. God never said he is three persons. God is absolutely one Person (Hebrews 1:3).

The Trinity was developed by Catholic men in 325AD. Paul and the apostles were dead when the Trinitarian doctrine was put together by the Catholic church (Colossians 2:8-9). Therefore, Paul nor the apostles never taught anything about a three person god.  Jews like Muslims are strictly monotheistic and have rejected the Trinity as heresy. And they are absolutely correct.  God is one.

Paul was appalled that anyone would teach any other doctrine other than what he taught the apostles (Galatians 1:8-9). Again, Paul nor the apostles taught anything about a Trinity or a three person god.  "A three person god is a figment of man's imagination".  "The Trinity is an assumption" that God is three persons. It's not in the Bible and God never said he is three persons.  God has spoken on more than one occasion that He is absolutely one God.  In summary, Paul didn't teach the doctrine of the Trinity and it's not in the Bible.

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: Did Paul get baptized in the name of the Lord?

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: Did Paul get baptized in the name of the Lord?: "Acts 22:1-18 Paul gets baptized in the name of the Lord. Paul relates how he found out that Jesus Christ is the name of the Lord God Almi..."

Did Paul get baptized in the name of the Lord?


Acts 22:1-18

Paul gets baptized in the name of the Lord. Paul relates how he found out that Jesus Christ is the name of the Lord God Almighty of heaven and earth whom he had persecuted. Paul was baptized in the name of the Lord following his encounter with Jesus Christ (verse 16). Jesus told Paul to leave Jerusalem because they would not believe his story.

Note: The story - God spoke personally to Paul out of heaven and gave Paul his highest and glorious name – Jesus Christ. Paul got baptized in the name of the Lord for remission of sins because he believed on Jesus Christ and the revelation of God.  Paul knew from his traditional Jewish training that God is one Person and only God or an angel speaks out of heaven, no one else.  Therefore, Paul asks God his name and God told Paul his name is Jesus whom thou persecutest; (Acts 9:5, I Corinthians 10:4, Hebrews 1:3, 8, I John 1:1-2, Revelation 1:8).

Question? Why would Paul preach or teach any other way to get baptized if he was personally baptized in the name of the Lord, the only name whereby we are saved ? (Acts 4:12, 22:16, Galatians 1:6-12).  The "Jesus name baptism" is the solid rock, and one of the keys, upon which the church is built and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18-19, Acts 2:38).

There is no record of anyone getting baptized in God's titles - the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19). Baptisms in the New Testament were always in the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16), in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38), or the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 19:5). All water baptisms by the apostles were in the name of Jesus Christ in some form. Paul and the apostles always preached the same thing about baptism.  God's name remits sin by the blood of Jesus Christ and is the foundation and the solid rock of our salvation. There is solid proof that God's name was always used by Paul and the apostles to baptize new converts (Acts 4:12, Romans 6:3-6, Colossians 3:17).

Re-baptism in Jesus name is absolutely necessary for salvation (Acts 19:1-5)


Acts 19:1-5

Re-baptism is a word that is not in the Bible.  However, we are using this word to bring clarity, understanding, and meaning to the actions of the apostle Paul.  Paul re-baptizes disciples in the name of the Lord Jesus.  This scripture gives us an understanding that once we have found out how one should be baptized, we should correct the situation by baptizing converts correctly – in the name of the Lord Jesus for remission of sins. 

One of the things that we find in our religious circles today is that most religious leaders speak highly of Paul and the gospel of Christ. However, they won’t follow the teachings of Paul. They don’t realize that Paul taught and re-baptized believers in the name of the Lord Jesus (Galatians 1:6-12). Some of the best known apostles – Peter and Paul taught the doctrine of Jesus being God “The Christ” and that if we believe, we should repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).

There are many preachers who do not baptize in Jesus name. Who are they following? Are they following their own philosophies and traditions? (Mark 7:6-13). It’s time for all religious leaders to teach repentance and re-baptize their converts in Jesus name so that they might receive remission of sins and the Holy Ghost/Spirit.

Note: God has given the Holy Spirit before and after baptism in Jesus name. I’m of the opinion that it doesn’t matter how or when we receive the Holy Spirit as long as we receive it. The important thing is that we follow the directions given to us in Acts 2:38. God will give the Holy Spirit wherever, whenever and to whomever he chooses. Paul understood that it was important that we follow the directions of God.

Therefore, Paul gets baptized calling on the name of the Lord. Paul was buried with him, washed in his blood and took on his name by baptism (Acts 22:16).  If the baptism in Jesus name is good enough for Paul and the apostles, surely it's good enough today to those believers who believe in the power of his name.  The solid rock of Jesus Christ, upon which the church is built, is the baptism in Jesus name and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matthew 16:18).

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: THE UNKNOWN GOD is Jesus Christ

THE UNKNOWN GOD is Jesus Christ


Acts 17:18-34

Paul tells the men of Athens that Jesus is God. There were some philosophers who were upset with Paul because every where that Paul went; he preached that Jesus was the “Christ” using the Old Testament scripture which revealed the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, thereby proving that Jesus Christ is the only God according to Jewish foundational training.(Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11, Revelation 1:8).

The people of Areopagus had not heard the doctrine of Christ and they didn’t know what it meant. However, the Athenians were willing to listen and discuss the doctrine. Paul let them know that they were superstitious because he saw their devotion to an altar with the inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Paul took this opportunity to explain to them that they didn’t know that this same unknown God who is Jesus Christ, is the same one that I have been talking to you about. The God that was crucified and was resurrected is Jesus Christ. In other words, Paul let the people know that he was teaching them that Jesus Christ is this unknown God (Corinthians 10:4, Acts 9:5).

Guess What? Some believed and some did not. We can preach Jesus being the one God of heaven and earth all we want, we can show them in the scriptures who Jesus is, and some still won’t believe. What if some don’t believe? Does it make God’s Word of none effect? God forbid. Paul got so upset with the Jews because of their unbelief that he turned to the Gentiles (Isaiah 9:6, John 1:1,10,14, I Timothy 3:16).

Search the scriptures daily - Is Jesus God?



Acts 17:2-11

Search the scriptures daily. Paul went to the synagogue in Thessalonica to talk to the Jews about the Deity of Jesus Christ and that he was God in the flesh, “The Christ,” according to the Old Testament. The Old Testament was the only scriptures available because the New Testament had not been written.

Look at these Old Testament Scriptures: (Isaiah 9:6 – Jesus is The everlasting Father and the mighty God. Isaiah 40:3 – make a highway for our God “The Christ,” “The Lord” – Jesus is both Lord and God. Jesus is God and also our Saviour - Isaiah 43:3, 10, 11, 44:6-8, 45:21-23, 46:9, 48:12, 49:26, 52:6, 53:1-12, 60:16, Zechariah 12:10 –They shall look upon me whom they have pierced. – Jesus is the God they pierced. Notice that God did not say, they pierced my Son. God said, they pierced me.

Using these Old Testament scriptures, Paul tried to explain to the Jews that this is the same God that spoke to the prophets of old and that they had killed “The Christ” who was God himself in the flesh. The Jews in Thessalonica wouldn’t believe, but the noble Jews in Berea searched the scriptures daily to see if these things were true. Some will believe, others will not believe, and others will search the scriptures. The truth is in the Word of God.

It is very important that you search the scriptures for yourself, believing that there is only one God. You will never understand the mystery of the gospel unless you first believe in and understand the oneness of God. Once you understand the oneness of God, then you should search the Old and New Testaments to find the highest, most sacred, eternal and saving name of God and how the power of God’s name was used for salvation in the New Testament.

Some believers will understand the Word better than others, but the revelation and mystery of Jesus Christ will only come by the Spirit of God. Paul didn’t have a problem telling men that Jesus is God, “The Christ.” (I Corinthians 10:4).

Did Lydia get baptized in Jesus name?


Acts 16:14-15

Lydia gets baptized. This scripture doesn’t mention the baptism in Jesus name. However, we know that there is only one Lord, one faith and one baptism. Therefore, based on the preaching and teaching of Paul, we know that Lydia was baptized in Jesus name. All of the apostles including Peter, preached that one should be baptized in the name of the One Lord of heaven and earth – Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:5, Acts 2:38, Acts 10:36, Acts 19:1-5). Therefore, through deductive reasoning, we know that Lydia would have been baptized in Jesus name. There were others, such as the keeper of the prison, who were baptized in the name of the Lord.

Acts 16:27-33

Keeper of the prison gets baptized. The keeper of the prison was in charge of all the prisoners including Paul and Silas. After seeing the miraculous way in which God freed Paul and Silas, the jailer wanted to know what he could do to be saved. First Paul said, you must believe on the Lord Jesus and the jailer and his household would be saved. Once a person believes, then he would have no problem getting baptized in Jesus name. Paul, who was baptized in the name of the Lord, Acts 22:16, took the jailer and all his associates and baptized them in the name of the Lord according to the teachings of the apostles. Refer to other baptisms in Jesus name in Acts.  In order to fully understand the scriptures, one should search the scriptures daily for understanding.

Philip baptizes the Ethiopian Eunuch in Jesus name?


Acts 8:35-38

Philip baptizes the eunuch. This scripture doesn’t specifically mention the baptism in Jesus name. However, it is obvious that the eunuch was baptized in the name of Jesus for that was the only method that was taught by Peter and the apostles. There was no other form of baptism after the reception of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38). Remission of sins is by belief and baptism in Jesus name. Because the eunuch believed, he was baptized according to the teachings of Paul and the apostles, in the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 19:1-5). For Paul knew Jesus was the name mentioned in Matthew 28:19.  There are many acts of baptism mentioned in the scriptures (Acts 9:1-6, Acts 22:6-16, Acts 26:13-19).  The gospel wouldn't be consistent if the eunuch was baptized any other way - other than in the name of Jesus.  And we can rest assured that the Bible is consistent.  In order for one to understand the baptism in Jesus name one would have to know that Jesus Christ is the Almighty (Revelation 1:8)

Paul learns that Jesus is the Almighty God by his personal introduction and his study of the scriptures before he met him on the road to Damasus. According to Jewish teachings, there is but one God. We know by studying the scriptures that only God or his angels will speak out of heaven. Therefore, when Saul asks the Lord, Who Art thou Lord? Saul knew that this must be God speaking to him because of his Jewish training about the oneness of God. When Jesus said, “I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.” Saul realized for sure, at that time, that Jesus was the Almighty God. Jesus is the same God who spoke to Moses and the prophets, in his Spiritual form, and he is the same God who spoke out of heaven to Saul (I Corinthians 10:4).

There is only one Lord God and his highest, eternal and saving name is Jesus Christ - Jehovah Saviour (Acts 4:12). For we know that Jesus is Lord. Jesus was Lord in the Spiritual form in the Old Testament and he is Lord in a fleshly sense in the New Testament. Jesus is both the Spiritual Lord (Father) and Natural Lord (Son); for there is only one Lord (Deuteronomy 6:4, Ephesians 4:5) and his name is Jesus Christ. Jesus is Lord according to Matthew 3:3, Luke 1:43, and Saviour according to Acts 13:23, Luke 2:11, Acts 10:36, Ephesians 4:5. The Lord and Saviour and the Lord and God are used interchangeably in the scriptures. (Luke 1:47, 2:11, John 20:28). Therefore, Jesus is God. Simple algebra. But what if some don’t believe, that’s a decision that everyone will have to make for themselves (Romans 3:3-4).

In Dr. Charles Stanley’s book, “How to Listen to God,” page 6, he states that God spoke audibly in biblical days. The key praise is; “God spoke audibly.” And he gave the example of God speaking to Saul of Tarsus who was on his way to persecute believers in Damascus (Acts 9). God introduces himself to Saul and tells Saul his highest, glorious, and eternal name – Jesus Christ.

Dr. Stanley, who is one of my favorite preachers, believes in one God, and he recognizes Jesus Christ as the God who spoke out of heaven in biblical days. Remember; only God or his angels spoke out of heaven. Based on these facts, either Jesus is God or he is an angel. We know that Jesus is the only God who speaks out of heaven because of Paul’s letter to the Corinthians (I Corinthians 10:4). Again, based on this scripture and others, we understand that Jesus in his Spiritual form, spoke to Moses and the prophets. And since Paul knew that Jesus is God, all converts were always baptized in God’s name, Jesus Christ, whether they were Jews or Gentiles.

Understanding the Trinity vs Three Manifestations: Jesus Christ is the only name given for salvation ...: "Acts 4:12 In verse 11, Peter is letting listners know that Jesus is God according to this scripture in Isaiah. The same God, who spoke in..."

Jesus Christ is the only name given for salvation (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38, 4:12)


Acts 4:12

In verse 11, Peter is letting listners know that Jesus is God according to this scripture in Isaiah. The same God, who spoke in Isaiah, is the same God I am talking to you about right now. That same God’s name is Jesus Christ, the one whom you crucified (Isaiah 28:16)

Then Peter explained to them that there is no other name given whereby we must be saved. Why? Because the name “Jesus Christ” is the highest name of God. God purchased us with his own blood (Acts 20:28). Look at this. The Spirit of God doesn’t have blood. God has blood only in the fleshly body of Jesus Christ. Therefore, when God says we were purchased with his own blood, he is saying my name is Jesus Christ, for this is my own blood. Jesus is the only God – there is no such thing as two or three persons in one God (two or three persons in God is "an assumption" - God never said it).  

Jesus is a manifestation of the One God (John 1:1, 10, 14, Colossians 1:19, 2:8-9, I Timothy 3:16) Jesus is the Chief cornerstone and the sure foundation (Isaiah 28:16, Ephesians 2:20-22).

When you base your beliefs and doctrine on Jesus Christ and you repent to the Lord Jesus Christ, get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sins and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, who is the Spirit of Jesus Christ; you are on a sure foundation. Acts 2:38 is the sure foundational scripture and the keys to the born again experience.

This foundation is not based on the “Trinity” nor a concept of three personalities in one God. This foundation is based on the complete oneness of God and the One name of God. The whole gospel foundation is based on the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. For there is no other name under the heavens that is the sure foundation, save the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Philippians 2:6, 10-11, Colossians 2:8-10). This same Jesus is both Lord and Christ, God and Man. God has shown us on a number of occasions how we should use his name as a sure foundation through baptism.  "The baptism in Jesus name" is the rock upon which the church is built and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18-19).
