Three Questions for the Trinity Baptizer


 


Three Questions for the Trinity Baptizer

Please answer these three questions so that the oneness people that baptize in the name of Jesus Christ may know your thoughts and feelings. Thank you!



1. Since your argument regarding the trinity water baptism is taken from Matthew 28:19, what verse in the Bible would you use to teach your baptism if there was no Matthew 28:19 (If Matthew 28:19 did not exist)? Please make your answer specific to a verse in the Bible regarding water baptism. I understand that you believe that there are three persons in the Godhead but for the subject of baptism let us not use verses NOT direct to baptism.

2. We know as stated in Acts that Matthew was present when Peter preached water baptism in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38). Seeing that Matthew wrote the book of Matthew specifically chapter 28:19 your argument would be that Matthew believed and preached the Trinity baptism. If that is the case why then is there no record of Matthew interrupting Peter in Acts chapter two regarding the command to be baptized in Jesus name? The Apostle Peter preached Jesus name baptism and your belief is that Matthew preached the Trinity baptism. If that being true there is a direct contradiction between these two Apostles. We can see in Acts chapter two that there were at least 3,000 people baptized in the name of Jesus that same day. My question to you is why did Matthew not stop Peter? Why did he not at least ask why he was preaching that? We see in other places in the book of Acts and the Epistles where there were disagreements and offences among the Apostles. Why was Matthew silent on this all important subject? No Apostle is recorded as baptizing in the Triune formula. Since the resurrection of Jesus we only see water baptism administered in the name of Jesus. We do not have a record of Matthew baptizing in the Triune name and as far as I am concerned he no doubt himself baptized his converts in the name of Jesus as Peter, Paul and the rest of the Apostles.

3. Who in the Bible was baptized in the Trinity formula (Father, Son and Holy Spirit)? Please provide the persons name or description, book, chapter and verse where located.
