Chapter 5: "In the Name of" not "By the Authority of"
pg. 81-82
If baptism was to have simply been by the authority of Jesus Christ, don’t you think one time in the Scriptures the word exousia would have been used? Never do we read of baptism in the exousia of Jesus Christ. Rather, the phrase “in the name of Jesus Christ” is used, which refers to the naming of the name Jesus Christ upon the baptismal candidate.
Short quote, but hope it sparks your interest.
Got a call from the publisher today, I should have the first print of books on Monday!!
