"Water Baptism In Jesus Name" - The Apostolic Connection

when Jesus said baptize him in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and they baptized on the day of Pentecost in acts 2 in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins they were doing what Jesus had asked them to do ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters this morning present and those watching by television in the World Wide Web know we're in the lids of your Bible was anybody baptized any other way but in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the purpose of remission of sin we would like to welcome you to the Apostolic connection the weekly televised service of the first Apostolic Church here in Maryville Tennessee I'm pastor Kenneth carpenter and we would like the congregation and myself to give you an apostolic hand clap offering for joining us today by way of television and by way of the World Wide Web so what an honor it is to have you with us today I will ask those in the audience if you would be seated at this time I would like to draw your attention to the first book of Peter chapter number 3 and verse number 17 Peter writes and says frit is better if the will of God be so that you suffer for well doing than for evil doing for Christ also hath once suffered for sins the just for the unjust that he might bring us to God being put to death in the flesh but quickened by the spirit by which also he went and preached them to the spirits in prison which sometime were disobedient when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was a preparing wherein few that is eight souls were saved by water the like figure were unto even baptism also now death also now save us not the putting away of the filth of the flesh but the answer of a good conscience toward God by the resurrection of Jesus Christ I want to preach this morning for a few moments on water baptism in Jesus name some may ask that the oneness apostolic Pentecostal people why they baptized immersed only in the name of the Lord Jesus first addressing this I believe that we need to address baptism as a whole is baptism question is baptism essential for salvation can one be saved without being baptized there's an example that Peter gives in reference to water baptism he spoke about when Christ descended into the earth and preached unto the spirits in prison he said that these spirits at one time did disobedient when once the long-suffering of God was waiting in the days of Noah while the ark was preparing wherein few we're in few that is eight souls were saved Noah in obey God's Word to build the ark the way that God said to building Noah built it the limb the height the width the type of wood the pitch from within and out all that God commanded Noah to do Noah did not questioning one word scripture said the flood came and Noah's family totally eight souls in the army wrote above the came down to a new earth and they were the only living human beings on the earth at that time Peter said that these eight souls were saved by water verse number twenty they were saved from the corruption of a godless world by calls the same water that lifted them destroyed the corruption but then Peter adds to in verse 21 he adds and says that this has become the like figure whereunto even baptism death now save us it saves us when we obey the words of Jesus Christ just like Noah was saved in his days by obeying what God said so baptism according to a Bible answer baptism does play a role in the salvation of our souls let's listen to Jesus Christ in mark chapter 16 mark chapter 16 and begin reading with verse number 15 and he said unto them go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature he that believeth and is emphasis now he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned jesus said when he placed the end between believeth and baptism and the saved after Jesus did not say he that believeth is saved the same should be baptized he didn't say that our Bibles our Bibles can read that way our Bibles read he that believeth plus baptism equals salvation so water baptism water baptism immersive is an essential part of the plan of salvation for four men Melissa don't stop there because oneness pentecostals not only believe that it is essential to salvation for a person to be immersed in water but we also teach and believe the Bible method that it is to be administered in the name of Jesus Christ Matthew 28 and verse number 16 it's interesting you must underline this verse 16 then of the eleven disciples went away into Galilee into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them the eleven they were there and when they saw him they worshiped him but some doubted Jesus came and spake unto them saying all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost now before we move on to that chapter two I want to bring your attention to what Jesus said and what he did not say he did not say teach all nations baptizing him in the name of the Father and the name of the son and the name of the Holy Ghost simple reason Father Son and Holy Ghost are not named Father Son and Holy Ghost are descriptive titles of one God but that one God has a name a revealed name the highest name that he's ever had that was revealed and that name is Jesus the name of the father one would only have to find out the name of Jesus for jesus said I have come in my father's name so Father Son and Holy Ghost are not names but descriptive titles of one God I am a father I am a pastor I am a son I am a husband but these are all descriptive titles of the person but the name of the person is Kenneth Ray carpenter I would never write you a check and sign that check father son and pastor they would look at you at the bank and say is this man crazy we need his name because there are many fathers there are many sons and there are many pastors we want the one that wrote this check and if you got the name of the one that wrote the check it would have to be Kenneth rein carpenter and so Jesus he said baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost he did not say name of a father name of a son and name of the Holy Ghost now as we move to Acts chapter 1 or Acts chapter 2 and we look remember with me if you will remember with me that Matthew was there as a part of the eleven Acts chapter two and verse number fourteen the Holy Ghost has come and received the gift of the Holy Ghost and now it is time for Peter to begin preaching and the Bible says in acts 2:14 but Peter standing up with the eleven lifted up his voice now in Matthew Matthew writes about the eleven Matthew being the rider Peter being one that would make up the 11 right now Luke likes Peter being the one standing the 11 being made up now of Matthew in the crowd what I want to establish by the assist Matthew is in the crowd Peter is about to preach now when Peter comes down to Acts chapter 2 and 37 he has preached from verse 14 to verse 37 the only saving message there is the only gospel that will save your soul for there is only one God and His name is not Buddha there is only one God and His name is not Allah there is only one God and his name is Jesus Ament oh I gotta I gotta praise him just for a moment because I know the name of a one true and living God and neither is there salvation in any other for there is no other name given among men under heaven whereby we must be said Confucius cannot say Muhammad cannot save you all óbuda cannot save you all the false gods in this world cannot redeem the soul of man only the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ saves a soul from sin Peter preaches from verse 14 to verse 36 the death burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ in verse number 37 the Bible says now when they heard this they were pricked in their heart and said unto Peter and to the rest of the Apostles being vallevan men and brethren what shall we do then Peter to them repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost if Peter had administered baptism incorrectly Matthew would have stepped up and said wait a minute Peter I recorded Matthew 28 the father of seven holy go you're doing it wrong Peter no man you knew that Jesus was doing it and if that Peter was doing it right the disciples knew that Jesus what he meant for example when Jesus said go into all the world and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son of the Holy Ghost he wasn't saying repeat these words if he hadn't wanted them to repeat the words he would have said when you baptize baptize him repeating these words but he said when you baptize baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost now they knew what the father's name was Jesus they knew that the name of the son was Jesus and they knew the Holy Ghost would come in Jesus name they knew that these were just men infestations of one God that's why Peter didn't step up and say wait a minute that's why Matthew didn't step up and say wait a minute Peter you've got it all wrong you see today if I would ask my good dear brother white if I would say for the white would you hand me my water please no no women to him if I would say that to you if I would say that to you and you would say back to me but the white would you hand me my water please as for the white done what I ask or has he merely repeated what I ask he's only repeated what is he would not obey what I asked them brother white would you hand me my water please now but the white has done what I asked him to do when Jesus said baptize him in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and they baptized on the day of Pentecost in acts two in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of since they were doing what Jesus had asked them to do ladies and gentlemen brothers and sisters this morning present and those watching by television in the World Wide Web know we're in the lids of your Bible was anybody baptized any other way but in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the purpose of remission of sin let me let me go on the record today let me go on record today as saying that baptizing repeating the titles of the words Father Son and Holy Ghost did not come to 325 AD much later by men that never knew the Lord Jesus men that only had this book and had no true relationship with Jesus Christ or they had scripture but not they'd had no relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ they were the ones that started changing from him being one God that was the father of all creation became the son of redemption and is the Holy Ghost in the church they separated him into different persons gave him different personalities and different bodies and they separated him into the triune God but that is never found in the scripture if God wanted himself to be separated into a triune God then you would not hear to Deuteronomy 6 and 4 here o Israel the Lord our God is one Lord let me go down on the record today to accept that things had to evolve out of this book then where may I ask did they stop evolving if these men that walked with Jesus did not see it clearly enough to write about and preach about it then who is to say the ones that came about in the 34th century had enough knowledge also but my confidence is in this book today because in Acts chapter 2 that were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in Acts chapter 8 they were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ in Acts chapter 10 they were baptized in the of the Lord Jesus Christ well his baptism so important that if I was baptized incorrectly I was very sincere pastor carpenter when I was baptized do you think I should be rebaptised now in Jesus name I was very sincere what let me ask you this Jesus testified of a man and Jesus said that not a greater man had been born than John the Baptist it was not a greater man born among women is what the Lord said John came baptizing John baptized John baptizes baptism was a baptism of repentance as under the is under the Old Testament was a baptism of repentance saying unto the people that they should believe on him which should come after that is Jesus Christ would you think if one had been baptized by mighty John the Baptist they would need to be rebaptised again let's let scripture answer that for us Acts chapter 19 verse number one and it came to pass that while Apollo's was at Corinth Paul having passed through the upper coast came to Ephesus and finding certain disciples he said unto them have ye received the Holy Ghost since you believed they said unto Him we have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost he said unto them unto what then or for what purpose unto what then or what purpose were ye baptized they said unto John's baptism so here Paul is speaking to John the Baptist's disciples who have been baptized by John 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 now when they heard this they were baptized in the name of the lord jesus and when paul had laid his hands upon them the Holy Ghost came on to him and they spake with tongues and prophesied all of the men were about 12 you see John's baptism is like coupons that you get today that have an expiration date on them oh they're valid they're good up to this time is you could take them in a store as long as the date is there they're good that the data is still in good but you see John the Baptist's baptism was only valid up to the day of Pentecost after after the day of Pentecost John the Baptist baptism was was invalid it was no good it had lasted its duration it was there it was the will of God scripture said it was the counsel in the will of God for men to be baptized by John as matter as a matter of fact the disciples came one time in Trier that the Pharisees came one time excuse me tried to entrap Jesus Christ and and they were trying to get him to answer something to try to entrap him and and he said well before I answer this let me ask you a question of the baptism of John was at a baptism of men and he come from him or was it a baptism that came from heaven from God and and they got off in a little quorum and they said man we're really in trouble here because if we say it was a baptism brought up of men then everybody's been baptized and they're going to be mad at us and then if we step out there and we say well the baptism was from heaven from God then Jesus is going to say then why were you baptized so it was a counsel of God so John's disciples were rebaptised in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and that baptism has been valid now and will be valid until such a day as the Lord comes back for his church why don't you be baptized this morning in Jesus mighty name why don't you disobey the scripture for more information about the apostolic connection or first Apostolic Church of
