I was re baptized as an adult simply because the first time was when I was only 11 and I didn't even understand it except that I was told that since I had received the Holy Ghost, "now you need to be baptized in Jesus Name", so I was merely being obedient to the elders in the church. I know a few pastors who used to baptize in the name of "Jesus" who are now using the Hewbrew/Jewish name of Y'AHshua in baptism and am wondering if it matters or not?

As to baptism in the name of Y'SHUA depends on what is meant by does it matter. I dont think it matters to salvation itself as Jesus is the English word accepted for Messiah.
On the other hand what a blessing and privilege to be baptized into the same name as the original New Testament Church was.
BTW where and who are these Pastors? Are they teaching one would be lost for not being baptized in the original name?
