Praying in the Name

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

39 For 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.

Go you therefore, and teach all nations, immersing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

I think name means reputation. Pray, not for your own reputation, but pray for God's reputation.

There is God. God does not need anything. Right? There are God's sons and what they think about God and there are other people and what THEY think about God. To love God is to pray that all creation should glorify God. Do not pray that YOU be glorified that people will know your name and thus you be glorified. Pray that GOD be glorified thus people will know The Name of God for good.

Right, but not for my own will be done. For God's will be done! So many people assume God's will will be done. They pray to be there. Don't they? God's will IS God's Name.

God is love. Love's will be done, thy kingdom comes from within you

Which is Jesus.


no, the name is what Jesus was sent out with. All prophets were to use it.

it was required of all prophets to use it. exodus 3:14

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

everyone who understands will come in that name.

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.

And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Yes,
Matthew 28:19 KJVS
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

This was a command by Christ. Notice name is singular. Also notice how whatever the name of the Father is so will it be for the Son and Holy Ghost.


Acts 4:12 KJVS
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

The name is Jesus Christ.

1 Corinthians 1:13 KJVS
Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?

If we follow Pauls logit. No, it was Jesus who was crucified for me. And no, I was was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.

I AM that i am is the Father present in all, not just jesus. we all have one Father and were all created of ONE Spirit. flesh gives birth to flesh and spirit to Spirit. We are all gods. Jesus is a created/begotten being too. you are to pray our Father, not Jesus father. Jesus was sent as a prophet. Jesus said a prophet has no honour in his own country.

Jesus sent as a servant and to serve

the name saves, jesus doesn't.

Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Christ's spirit is not jesus. jesus had to make himself as nothing.

colossians 3:11 christ is all and in all

Fool, you seem to have a desire to make everything more complicated than it is. God is. Stop trying to break everything down and just obey Him. You don't have to understand everything but we do need to obey.

If you don't understand to obey, you will likely fall into a trap. Isn't avoiding the traps what faith is all about? I trust you know what is written in the Bible. The warning is that if you do not know God to obey The Truth you will surely obey a false god.

No, we are not all gods.
Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

Yes, it's the name that saves and that name is Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

It was Jesus who raised himself.
John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

Tell me Fool, Who is the Lord is this scripture below? I'll give you a hint: He is the Lord of lords.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

the bible doesn't advocate anthropolatry

Psalm 82:6
I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

John 10:34
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?


Gods within God the Most High.

Jesus isn't God Most High. He's just a god like all the others. He's an example, he's not an exception.

Acts 17:28
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. God the Most High is omnipresent as I AM that i am. Imminent and NOW.




Yes, it's the name that saves and that name is Jesus Christ.
Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

the name Jesus isn't the name. the Name is at exodus 3:14-15

Jesus, like all prophets, uses that name; when he said before Abraham I AM.



It was Jesus who raised himself.
John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

everyone's body is their temple. everyone is the light of the world. The most high imbued all of his creation with light. do you suppose God creates out of ignorance and darkness

there is ONE Spirit that created everything

gen 1:2

this is why blasphemy against the holy spirit is unforgivable. it is against self; who is the only one who can repent and ask for forgiveness and grant it by accepting the truth of I AM that i am.


The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Tell me Fool, Who is the Lord is this scripture below? I'll give you a hint: He is the Lord of lords.
2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

The spirit of the Lord is within me. Jesus isn't in me; otherwise you wouldn't persecute me.

Isaiah 61:1
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners,

2 Corinthians 1:22
Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

I have not persecuting you? I have not shown hostility or ill-treatment?
  1. subject (someone) to hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of their race or political or religious beliefs
Isaiah says on me not in me

2 Corinthians 1:22

Paul was writing a letter to the Corin church which was already an established church who all ready had the spirit in them. You have to go back to Pentecost and find out how to receive the Spirit.

the bible doesn't advocate anthropolatry

Jesus was worshipped. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. There are other verses. Jesus was God Almighty in the flesh.

Psalm 82:6
I have said, You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
John 10:34
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods?
Gods within God the Most High.
Jesus isn't God Most High. He's just a god like all the others. He's an example, he's not an exception.

Just so I understand what you are saying here. You don't mean to have the exact attributes of God right?
Because you don't know all things and surely you are not everywhere at one time.
He was saying how they had authority. Exodus 4:16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.

the name Jesus isn't the name. the Name is at exodus 3:14-15
Jesus, like all prophets, uses that name; when he said before Abraham I AM.

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. The text is plain.

thats ok. its the only way we can grow is by questioning. i disagree with you.

"Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.


On as a prep



""in, on, into,"

Also used in Old English in many places where we would now use in.

that is what being raised from the dead that bury the dead entails. sin is ignorance, or being dead, lost, to the truth. once a person understands then they are brought to a greater life, or life everlasting; instead of believing death is the end of life.

To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

The Lord says: "These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.

For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes--so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to me and let me heal them.'

There are other verses. Jesus was God Almighty in the flesh.
honoring someone isn't the same as idolizing someone.

jesus didn't advocate idolatry of himself. he even said call no man good in reference to himself. you can manipulate the image of anyone.

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity. flattery isn't acceptable. actions, fruits, by this they are known.



Just so I understand what you are saying here. You don't mean to have the exact attributes of God right? Because you don't know all things and surely you are not everywhere at one time.He was saying how they had authority. Exodus 4:16 And he shall be thy spokesman unto the people: and he shall be, even he shall be to thee instead of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him instead of God.
jesus isn't everywhere and at everytime. jesus isn't God the Most High.



Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. The text is plain.
God the Most High exalts those who follow the Law. Jesus isn't the exception because he said you can do all these things and more; if you believe.

Jesus worshipped God. Jesus didn't worship himself. Follow the example not the exception.

Big difference of on and in

jesus didn't advocate idolatry of himself. he even said call no man good in reference to himself. you can manipulate the image of anyone.

Luke4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Yet when people worshipped Jesus he was okay with it. He was God Almighty in the flesh.

Mark 10:18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
Jesus was talking about his flesh. All flesh is in sin. Yet Jesus had no sin. He was God Almighty in the flesh.

jesus isn't everywhere and at everytime. jesus isn't God the Most High.

I agree this is why he said he must go to send the comforter to be with them everywhere and at every time.

John14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

God the Most High exalts those who follow the Law. Jesus isn't the exception because he said you can do all these things and more; if you believe.

Colossians3:17 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.

Yes, we can do the things that Jesus Christ did and even greater. We do it all in the name of Jesus Christ.
