Hippolytus or Phillip who the scriptures record baptized in Jesus name Acts 8:16
Cyprian or Paul who baptized in Jesus name Acts 19:5
Gregory Thaumaturgus or Jesus who said in Luke 24:47
"And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
Which perfectly matches with Acts 2:38
We also believe that many of those Post-apostolic quotations are either spurious or even lies by the proponents of the trinity.
It is well known that the Catholic church has resorted to fabrications and outright lies in order to advance the trinity.
When it comes down to it, we believe that Luke and Eusebius were right on using the name of Jesus.
A more detailed defence is written in Apendix A of "The Holy Apostolic New Testament".
Of course we expect people who have not even read our New Testament to attack it, but all men of God have been attacked and even killed by those who hate the truth. |
You didn't read what I posted. Here it is again.....
"While the phrase (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) or similar wording does not exist in any other place of the New Testament
or early apostolic
documents, for it is without a doubt a later creation."
That can quickly be shown to be error....
Tertullian, c. 200 AD (see here writes in On Baptism, Chapter XIII: "For the law of baptizing has been imposed, and the formula prescribed: "Go," He saith, "teach the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." and in Against Praxeas, chapter 2 says, "After His resurrection ..He commands them to baptize into the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost".
Hippolytus (170-236 AD says in Fragments: Part II.-Dogmatical and Historical.--Against the Heresy of One Noetus, "gave this charge to the disciples after He rose from the dead: Go ye and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
Cyprian (200-258AD) in The Seventh Council of Carthage Under Cyprian says, And again, after His resurrection, sending His apostles, He gave them charge, saying, "All power is given unto me, in heaven and in earth. Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." and alludes to the same passage in other places as well.
Gregory Thaumaturgus (205-265 AD) in A Sectional Confession of Faith, XIII (see here says, "....the Lord sends forth His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit?"
Do you see the "
early apostolic documents"?
