What is the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost referenced in
Matthew 28:19?
I seem to remember reading a tract from the UPC many years ago that said (paraphrased)
The name of the Father is Lord
The name of the Son is Jesus.
The name of the Holy Ghost is Christ.
Therefore, the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is Lord Jesus Christ.
I can’t find a copy of a tract like that any more.
So, are the three words “Lord” plus “Jesus” plus “Christ” when added together the one name of God?
Andrew Urshan came to the conclusion that, "The Lord Jesus Christ is the One Proper Name of the whole Deity for this Gospel dispensation because in Him, Jesus Christ our Lord, all the fullness of the Godhead dwells and to Him all the power in Heaven and earth was given" He goes on to say, "...This was indeed a wonderful revelation of the Trinity in Christ....seeing the great value of the baptism invested in faith in the One Name of the triune God..." He goes on to say that he had a tract published about this revelation, that he had
Acts 2:38 painted above the baptistry tank and that he began to baptize new converts "into the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ which is the One Name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost." This is on page 10 of a magazine titled The Witness of God, edition no. 3 of 1946. He said this happened in 1910 while pastoring an assembly at Sheffield and Montana Street in Chicago, Illinois.
In 1927 Mark Lawson chartered an organization called The Church of Jesus Christ. I read somewhere that he did so as a reaction to the teaching that “Lord Jesus Christ” is the name of God. Some in the Church of Jesus Christ teach that Jesus was the name of His human nature and Christ was the name of His divine nature so His name is “Jesus Christ.”
Over the years there have been many divisions in that group and many of them use some form of “Church of Jesus Christ” in their name.
Here is a comment by someone who is part of one of those groups. This comment was made/posted very recently:
We are commanded to believe on Jesus Christ! Not Jesus name, or Lord Jesus, or Jesus. It must be Jesus Christ.
Have you kept this commandment, or broken it?
If you have been baptized in Jesus name, you must go back to the water, and be baptized right, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Acts 2:38 said, In the name of Jesus Christ, not Jesus name, or Lord Jesus Christ. Got to get it right if you want to make heaven your home.
Some try to come up with a Hebrew name and say that 2000 some years ago He was called Yasha, or Yehoshua, or Yeshu, or Yeshua. They then say that baptism must be in that Hebrew name, although there is disagreement among them as to what the Hebrew name really is.
