97.6% Of All Christians Baptized Wrong

Thirty three percent of the world's population is of the Christian religion.  That is approximately 2.1 billion people. 97.6% of these are not baptized correctly.  They have been baptized with several false baptisms. These baptisms are not valid and God will not accept them.  The correct mode is important as only one mode was performed by John the Baptist, Jesus, and the Apostles.  The correct formula invoked is important and only one was practiced by the Apostles.

The history of water baptism is found in the Jewish Mikvah.  Converts to Judaism had to go through the baptismal waters of mikvah.  These waters were NEVER sprinkling!  All converts were immersed in the waters of separation as an act of faith in giving up Gentilism to become a Jew by choice.  At the time of immersion the sacred name of God was invoked over the candidate.  Therefore all sprinkling baptisms are false and everyone so baptized MUST BE BAPTISED OVER TO BE SAVED.  Anyone who does not have the name of God invoked over them has not come under the rule, reign, and Kingdom of God.  All these must be REBAPTIZED OR THEY WILL BE DAMNED (Mark 16:16).

What is the name of God to be invoked over the candidate for salvation in the New Testament?  That name is Jesus Christ and can be found in Acts 2:38.

Some claim baptisms should be done saying Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.  But this is false.  Jesus said go and baptize in the NAME of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.  The words Father, Son, and Holy Ghost ARE NOT NAMES BUT TITLES.  Father is not a name, Son is not a name, and Holy Ghost is not a name.  These are titles.  What is the name of the Father?  What is the name of the Son?  What is the name of the Holy Ghost?  Why did the Apostles NEVER say Father, Son, and Holy Ghost when they baptized?  The real reason is that Jesus never said these words and they are missing in the Hebrew Matthew we now have discovered.  The Apostles always baptized invoking the name of Jesus, therefore Jesus is the name of God.  All those not baptized in JESUS CHRIST NAME must be rebaptized or they WILL BE DAMNED.

All the members of the following religions are baptized with a false baptismal mode and or formula.  If they are not rebaptized according to the manner of the Apostles in Acts 2:38 they will be damned. If you are a member in one of the following Churches you must be rebaptized over or you will be damned.  Acts 2:38 has the ONLY correct New Testament baptismal formula.  You must be rebaptized in the name of JESUS CHRIST to be saved.

Study the book of Acts and you will see there are no baptisms in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  They were all done in the name of Jesus Christ which is the name of the Lord (see Acts 2:38; 8:12,16; 10:48; 19:5).  You must be baptized correctly to be saved.  Do not allow a false water baptism upon you.  Get Bible baptism NOW.  Do not let anyone talk you out of it, get baptized correctly as soon as possible.
