Jesus, commaned his follower's to be baptized "In The Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost," Jesus knew that they understood who the Name of the Father was ;

John 5:43 KJV

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. Also read;

John 14:8-10 KJV

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Then Jesus also commanded them to be baptized in The Name of the Son; This should be evident without controversy we all know who the name of the Son is. However, We find in

John 14:6-7:

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

Acts 4:12 KJV

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. The most powerful name under heaven is JESUS.

Finally, we come to the Name of the Holy Ghost, that Name is The same name of both the Father's and The Son's is Jesus. As we read about the Comforter in John 14: 16-18

16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John's comment on 2020-03-30 18:26:07:

Born of water means natural birth Born again means born of the Spirit, that water can NEVER offer salvation the true baptism is the Holy Spirit. John the Baptist showed what he was doing was a shadow of what Christ would do when he said "i indeed baptize you with water, but when he comes "Jesus" he will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire" .....no longer water the Bible plainly says what is flesh is flesh and what is spirit is spirit. Jesus said go into all the land teaching and baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. if you think any work can save you and yes baptism of water is a work Bible says not of works less any should boast

Frenz's comment on 2011-10-25 23:42:05:

When a person who has faith in God's word and trully understand the meaning of Baptism thru obedience to his word, and accept the process of salvation in his life, says in v-21 (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) God is happy to see the heart of man/woman with a good conscience toward God. Baptism in Jesus name(Acts 2:38)is our submission to the will of God,Holy Spirit baptism(Acts 2:1-4)is the confirmation that God accepted our submission & as children of God, heirs to his kingdom. See Romans 8:9,14-17, Ephesians 1:13 (1 Pet 3:21).

Did you know that: Born again(John 3:1-7)is the only way to enter into the Kingdom of God,Jesus requires born in water and born in spirit(John 3:5)born in water means baptism,baptism in Jesus name,born in spirit means Holy Spirit baptism.two baptism needed in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.
