My Wife and I were just baptized again..
She was baptized in Jesus' name as a small child but as an adult she felt she needed to be baptized again.
I was baptized in my teens but in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. It's bothered me for years since I have never been a trinitarian. So being baptized in the name of Jesus was a must.
So happy we came across this video.
I was born and raised in a Lutheran family so I was baptized as an infant. I got baptized again when I repented as an adult in a different church.
We love you and your teaching Bishop David Bernard with the love of Jesus Christ!
A great explanation of water baptism. I agree. God bless you Brother Bernard.
Jesus said you need to be baptized!
@@billjones6131 Yes, we all must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ!
Much needed
Thank you Bro. Bernard for this. Thank God for your wisdom and anointing.
I need this video thank you Pastor Bernard❤
This was amazing. Thank God for the man of God and his wellness to break this down so beautifully. I feverishly took notes. I can wait to study and meditate on this be a more effective teacher.
Here's what I find completely bewildering about Trinitarian baptisms.
Colossians 3:17 says "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." In 99.99% of all situations, Trinitarians obey this verse. They pray in the name of Jesus, they rebuke demonic forces in the name of Jesus, etc. But when it comes to water baptism, they'd rather do it in titles, assuming that the words of Jesus in Matthew 28:19 were meant as a verbal formula. Even more bewildering is the fact that even if you look at Colossians 3:17 from a Trinitarian POV, one should still be performing water baptisms in the name of Jesus, not in the titles of God.
I would love to see Dr Bernard explain away John 6 - that problematic passage where one is instructed to eat His flesh and drink His blood - the Holy Eucharist.
But quickly adding to your bewilderment - we are also sealed with the Holy Spirit and we take on the name of our patron saint too who journeys with us. Holy Cuthbert, Wonderworker of Lindisfarne, is my patron saint.
@@realmccoy124 Wow. Just the fact that you brought the idea of patron saints into this tells me that you've got more baggage than I'm willing to unpack.
@@realmccoy124what’s problematic about it???🤷🏽♂️
@@germanwulf40 - you don’t need to unpack it, really. There is a question though we should consider - just how ‘Jewish’ are you… and I… in our understanding of God… and I mean that sincerely - beyond Deut 6:4…. Has Modernity and Rational Thought influenced our beliefs and practices? Oneness Pentecostals pride themselves in ‘the Early Church’… just how Apostolic are you… and I? I have always been aware of my patron saint’s presence - even when I walked in Oneness Pentecostalism. How has the Church been since its inception… and in Her Revelation of herself as the Body of Christ - in her teachings and practices? And just how connected or disconnected are we from the Ancient Church?
@@revamp6612 - is it the Body and Blood - and is Christ truly present in the Holy Eucharist - or is it just an inconsequential remembrance, a simple meal…. Like a snack of oyster crackers from Nabisco, dumped into a shiny bowl, with grape juice squirted out haphazardly from a sports bottle into a plastic thimble cup?
I do admire Bro. David Bernard for uplifting our LORD God Jesus Christ as the one true God of the Bible. The only one that he is lacking is remembering the Sabbath day since our LORD God Jesus Christ is LORD of the Sabbath and the Sabbath is the Seal of His Kingdom in Heaven.
Amen
Amen 🙏
I was baptized in Jesus Name. But the tip of my nose didn't make it under the water 😂. I'm going to have my husband rebaptize me next time we go to the beach or something for my conscience's sake
My mom was baptized in Jesus name and didn't really understand it and did it so she didn't have to keep hearing it. Later on in years she understood so she got rebatized and felt a new lease in life.
😇👍🏽
Will there ever be a video on believers baptizing if they're not licensed ministers?

I was baptized in Jesus name back in 2014 when I was 24 years old back in North Dakota but when I was asked by my (current) pastor if there was any proof of it I went back to the states to get the pictures that were taken from my baptism but they couldn't find any proof that it happened except my previous pastor could testify he baptized me but since there wasn't any proof of it like it never happened I decided to be rebaptized but before I made that decision, I had a dream one day where I was told by the Lord to get rebaptized again and this time I got a certificate of my baptism from 2021 but I still count my baptism from 2014 as my actual baptism so I've been in the race for 10 years now.
Baptism is something personal between the person and Jesus. The Eunuch in acts 8, illustrates this.
@DavidKBernardUPCI, thank you. Will you please explain Hebrews 6: 4-6? Can a backslider repent or is it impossible??
Indeed you can. Do it now, Jesus Christ will forgive you. 🙌🏼
Prayer video
@DavidKBernardUPCI thank you for this! I have a question regarding a person who has left the Apostolic Church to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He's a very good friend of mine who met a gal who attended the LDS church. He met with the missionaries, at her request, and was baptized using their Trinitarian formula. Their understanding of God is totally different from that of a "normal" Trinitarian church. Long story short, after his "baptism" he realized he made a mistake. He is no longer seeing the gal, has repented of and renounced his conversion to the LDS church, and wants to return to the Oneness Apostolic church. In a case such as this, should he be re-baptized in Jesus's Name? He believes his repentance and renunciation is sufficient and he doesn't need to be re-baptized. I disagree. May I ask how you would respond to him? Thank you, and God bless you!
He needs to be baptized in Gods name YHWH.
Just me personally… but I don’t think he needs to be rebaptized. We see people backslide into the world but come back and be renewed in the Holy Ghost but you don’t see them getting water baptized again. Just like Bro Bernard said, an invalid baptism formula doesn’t cancel out Jesus name baptism
Yes, because you need to be baptized in the name of God. God, has a name from beginning of time, he toldmoses in ex 3:14-16. It is YHWH. He said it’s FOREVER and there’s only salvation in His name and he mentioned salvation in his name multiple times in the Old Testament and in the new. YHWH was taken out and replaced with LORD in capital letters, or the Lord in the New Testament. We must get back to His only name, because I had one. We have to realize we were actually speaking two, instead of one as a prior pentecostal apostolic I know this now.
So, you do not follow Acts 2:38?
Baptism doesn't save you, God anointing you does.!
John 3:5 Are Jesus’ own words.
Brother Bernard, what’s your opinion on someone who was baptized at a trinitarian church but in the Name of Jesus Christ. And that person came to us and asked if they need to be re baptized? Would their Jesus name baptism at the trinitarian church be valid or would you consider re baptizing them?
If they feel like they need to do it.
Good question 🤔
@@angelacarrillo4727yes 🙌
No if you already was Bautize in Jesus name you don't need to.
@@rauljaramillo4677 why?
Luke 20:4
“The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?”
Baptism is like a Marriage, how many times do you marry your wife.?
If you were baptized the wrong way, you need to be rebaptized.. Just like in Acts 19, the disciple of John the baptist was rebaptized in the name of Jesus.
Where does it say it’s like a marriage?
@@hargisP2 It doesn't say marriage anywhere, it's just a comparison only!
@@hargisP2
marriage is a commitment that you only do once, unless your spouse dies.

Who gets Baptized by John these days.???
I was Baptized by a Baptist Preacher who said : I Baptize you in the name of the Father, Son, & Holy Spirit and that name is "Jesus" - I spoke in Tongues and said (God is Everything), I was 10, there wasn't anyone in my life that Spoke in Tongues till I was 28 ..

@@DavidKBernardUPCI I was raised in a trinitarian Pentecostal church but have in the past 4 years converted to oneness and been baptized in Jesus name.
My question is, why or how can trinitarians be filled with Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in unknown tongues if they do not have a proper understanding of scripture or have out right rejected the Biblical teaching of the oneness @DavidKBernardUPCI
@@THE_Tyler_Rogers God will fill anyone who repent and believe
@@DavidKBernardUPCI Good evening. In 1999 I was baptized in the Jehovah's Witnesses organization. I left in 2005 and has never tried to reconnect with them. During Covid, I happened to be searching for an online worship centre , found one that preached salvation through the ransom sacrifice of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. My whole life has changed! I am having a bit of a problem because now I know that I have to get rebaptized but I I do not want to do so in one of these churches( Catholic, Sabbath Day , JW, Pentecostal) . I honestly do not know what to do and it bothers me.
Now, I understand. However, for the sake conscience yes get rebaptized if you backslid and you feel it.
It's dangerous to think if you backslid get rebaptized for conscience sake. As humans we will by nature slip up here and there. If your train of thought remains in this dangerous process you'll end getting rebaptized everyday over and over and over again and again. Water baptism is making an outward statement on what's taking place in the heart. Jesus went to the cross and shed his blood to forever take away the sins of the world. Now that a person has been baptized they can NOW come before the throne of grace and seek his forgiveness. He is just and faithful to forgive. Therefore, rebaptized is not necessary. We need to identify with death (repent) burial (💧 water baptism) and resurrection (Holy Spirit filled) In this fashion you have everything you need to walk a consecrated life. Also study the word, purchase some biblical based materials from trusted ministers such as Mr. David K Bernard and join a local church and a friendship group within your local church.
When you write a check and your a wife ,mother and sister you don't write all that, you write your name. If i want to get someone's attention i don't call what they are i call who they are and that's by their"name".
Matthew 1:21 (KJV) And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
There are no “Baptismal formulas” in Acts. There are no actual recordings of Baptisms where the Baptizer and candidate are in water and first person account of, “ I baptize you in the Name of …”. Acts has historical narrative after the fact letting us know they received Christian Baptism. In fact when John’s disciples mentioned they have not heard of the Holy Spirit they were taken to how were they baptized, they would have heard the name Holy Ghost at their baptism if it were Christian baptism.
So.. u never read the word
@@bradsmith8510 Sure I read the Scriptures if that is what you mean. If you have a verse in Acts that records the actual event of Baptism with the words in first person ,”I Baptize you in the Name of…”. please let me know. There are only commands to be baptized and reports of they were baptized but the “administration of baptism” is not recorded.
Holy Ghost - Is God a Ghost.?
God is the Holy Spirit
It's Bible terminology, I think everyone knows it's synonymous with Holy Spirit as well. If you didn't know, I suppose you do now lol
In Greek Spirit and Breath are the same word. The same is true in Hebrew and Latin. It used to also be true in English.
So; in the King James Bible, we have the Holy Ghost, who is the Holy Spirit. And then we have “gave up the ghost” which means to “breathe your last breath.” So Ghost used to mean breath in certain passages and spirit as well like in the Greek, Hebrew, and Latin texts.
I kind of like that. I prefer to use the name Holy Ghost over Holy Spirit, but neither one are wrong.
@@ArchangelsBookClub
OT - Rüakh HaKodesh = Spirit Holy - Ruakh is Breath of God (Elohim), .... God Breathed Life into Adam = Genesis 2:7 . NT
Holy Spirit =
hagios = Free from Sin -
Spirit = pneuma - Breath of God..
Jesus (Yeshuah) Breathed Life into the Disciples and they Spoke in Tongues and Prophesied = John 20:22
Also on Pentecost - Acts 2:1-47.
The same Breath (Spirit) and the same God
The Father and I (Jesus) are "One" (ev) = oneness, unity John 10:30
.
In the KJV Wind, Spirit, Ghost are the exact same word in the Greek NT = pneuma, Breath of God. John 3:8 .

Just saying Holy Ghost sounds stupid.????
@@rtoguidver3651 Holy Ghost is antiquated, but I prefer the term. It’s traditional. I like it.
Baptizing in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is not a Trinitarianism. We are baptized in the name (singular) of Jesus who is our Everlasting Father, who became a man (Son) and His Spirit is with us.
Everlasting Father according to scripture meaning,Father of eternity,but He is not God the Father as Jesus is distinct from God the Father .

The Father of the New Testament is not our LORD God Jesus Christ, it was an angels according to Hebrews 1:5. Our LORD God Jesus Christ is the Everlasting Father of the Old Testament.
@@kevinwall2882 - Hi Kevin. I know you. Trust you and yours are well. I liked your response. Solid exegesis. Are you still going to the church on 12th Street?
@@rickypineda523 - Hi. I’ll admit, you sent me searching in the Scriptures to try and understand what you have stated… and no offense… I do not see what you have extrapolated from Hebrews 1:5. But no theology stands in a single verse…. What you have written doesn’t agree with mainstream UPCI teachings as I understand them…. This conclusion you have reached certainly does not agree with Orthodoxy. The Scriptures do not read as your presenting in your doctrine.
@@realmccoy124
The Father of the New Testament is not the Creator because he was an angels according to Hebrews 1:5. The Father of the Old Testament is our LORD God Jesus Christ the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Almighty God, the Prince of Peace, the Everlasting Father, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the KING of Kings and LORD of Lords.
I was baptized in the Trinity doctrine, then was explained the oneness of God and that He came in the flesh, I got baptized in the name Jesus but about 9 years ago the Holy Spirit lead me truth about Gods name and that Jesus was not the name for remission of sins and not the name for salvation! Doing research and studying I found out that Yahwah is the name for salvation!! The name that all the prophets gave witness to and the name that the apostles used!! They would have never called upon any other name! I listened to a video by David Bernard that He saids the name of God is Yahweh( with weh) than stated that it was our foundation of oneness!! But than uses the name of Jesus!!
What?? This is NOT oneness!! But you believe in two! Trinity believes in three your oneness teachings are saying there are two names!!
Only one name!! Yahwah of the old testament is Yahwah of the new testament!! No name change, no meaning of a name ! No confusion!!
This comment reflects the results of poor biblical exegesis and lack of understanding in Christian dogmas…. Resulting in yet another offshoot from the True Faith.
What about this question let's say someone's being baptized and they go down in the water with a person but however the person that's with them put some under the water but he is not the one saying we now baptize you in the name. There is somebody outside the water standing like let's say outside the tank or if they're doing it in a body of water they don't want to Shoreline and that person is not the one touching them but they're the ones saying or speaking from a microphone that we know baptize you in the name . Is it valid that the person that is not touching them and he's the one Speaking that the person will be saved or does the person in the tank or in the body of water has to be the one that's touching them and saying we not baptize you in the name
What does that even mean?? These questions you are asking seem so irrelevant
Firstly, it seems your approach here is Roman, in that you are being juridical - and trying to find a legal argument … secondly, I need to ask - how does this pertain to your salvation? The rite of baptism is to be performed by a priest, and not a member of the laity. Even in the context of Protestantism - this is generally the case… where a minister performs the baptism. Absolutely, baptism is witnessed by the Church, and in Orthodoxy, we agree in the sealing of the Holy Spirit together. But it is all submitted beneath the priestly ministry ordained by God, through His Son and by the Holy Spirit.
In reading your other comments to this post, I see you denying the name of Christ God - as being his name. As I already stated in a comment to you elsewhere, you got a lot of rewriting to do to take out the majestic name of Jesus Christ, whom I call LORD and my GOD - unto the glory of God the Father. Because Yahweh called me and gave me to His dear Son.
YHWH Elohim, devar YHWH, Ruach YHWH, And Chokhmah …. the Ancient of Days sent us the Son of Man … in His name…. Wisdom.
Trust you are well. Lovingly, Cuthbert.
Baptism doesn't save. Believe on Jesus. It is His blood alone that saves us. Our faith in the sacrifice of the Son of God Jesus Christ of Nazareth. He is our Saviour alone. He needs not for us to assist him by any work including baptism in order for us to be born again into the kingdom of heaven. What grace! What assurance of our souls saved by a loving God who showed us His love by pouring out His own blood on the cross for us. Rest easy brothers. Faith in Jesus saves.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
AMEN!
There is nothing we can do to save ourselves. We are guilty but after we have placed our trust in Jesus we are saved, redeemed and washed in the blood. There is nothing we can do to add to this and nothing any man or being can do to take away from it.
It is such a beauty found in the gospel, such peace that we have assurance in Jesus alone.
The Bible does NOT teach that baptism saves. It teaches that Jesus Christ saves. What a beautiful gift we have been offered. All we can do is trust in Jesus. What relief!!!!
OK, but Jesus is not the name. Teach the fact, what you already know David K Bernard that it is the definition of a name and it’s not even the definition of the name of God.
One name YHWH
What did you write about? I can't understand your comment, please explain...
@@Elias_Eliyahu God has a name. We believe in ONE so he never changed His name.
He told us His name in exodus 3:14-16. As oneness believers we truly need to understand He doesn’t have a different name.
He is YHWH. Forever to ALL generations. And when He came and died for our sins He came IN HiS own name. John 5:43
@@KG-hi1es the apostles did baptize in Jesus's name so, let's first start with that the name that was given to Moses really means "I AM" is a verb in the Hebrew language... With that in claim, you just have to know that Jesus Christ said: "Before Abraham was I Am". Get back on track.
I haven't been filled with the gift of the Holy Ghost yet, I have been praying to receive that gift... Thanks you
@@KG-hi1es did you receive the gift of the Holy Ghost?
That is a very good point ... Acts 10:43 says all prophets witness tgen Name that gives us remissions of sins ... no prophets ever said it was yehushua or a Jesus name 😮... John 5:43 says He cane in tge Fathers name? ... that would be YHWH not Yeshua...
You must be born of the water, and the spirit means the natural birth and spiritual birth, not water baptism. In natural birth are indeed born or water. Notice the next verse says, "That which is FLESH is FLESH and that which is Spirit is Spirit, you must be born again." The flesh is the natural birth. John 3:4,5
John indeed baptized with water unto repentance, but Jesus said he would baptize us with the HOLYGHOST. Acts 1:5
Baptism of the Holyghost happens at conversion, which happens when one wholeheartedly believe and sold out for Christ and continue in a life with Christ thereafter until he comes for his Bride the church, not when baptized in water. There is only 1 baptism.
Check out the other podcast on baptism in Jesus name. I think there is one on John 3:3-5. I am not going to tell you that you are wrong because it won't change anything, if you're willing to listen and possibly be open to change your mind watch that video
Why do you use a meaning of a name for salvation? And not the actual Name of God as Yahwah hamashiach,?
Like if I send you $1,000 check will you on Sunday morning stand up and give a praise report and say you want to give thanks to John and ask everybody let's praise John and give him all the glory and all the praise because well we're going by a meaning of the name and since John means Yahwah is a gracious Giver We Want To Praise John and give him so much thanks for his offering..... so are we really going by meaning of names now especially when it comes to salvation?
The name Jesus means save, or delivers, rescuer. Look it up.
Moses can take you to the promised land, but you need a Joshua to cross over… and with that - what does the name Joshua mean? YWHW means what? If you say, I AM - you are correct. In the Gospel of John, we see God - written in Greek as the ego eimni… I AM. We see the name of Jesus the Christ / which means ‘YWHW Saves the Anointed One’… Christ God is Fully God and Fully Man… but the angel of the Lord told the Theotokos to call him JESUS - because he will save his people from their sins.
I use the name of Christ God sparingly - and the Ancient Jews would not utter the name of YWHW …. And because of Christ God, we can dare to call upon the LORD GOD as ‘Father’…. Which was preposterous and foreign to ancient Judaism.
To ignore the manifested name - Jesus Christ - in the NT - you’re gonna have to rewrite all the books. Because, that name is glorious and is stated throughout. Lovingly, Cuthbert.
Baptism doesn’t save either way,only Christ does. John 3:16,Eph 2:8-9,Romans 10:9
Read that Bible . It will help john 3:1-16 gives context.. born again first
Also..1 Peter 3:20-21 KJVS
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

No you don't need to get rebaptized in JESUS name.
You must: Repent, and be Baptized IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost"
ACTS 2:38
It is essential
Acts 19
Luke 24:45 - 49 then opened He their understanding that they might understand the scriptures and said unto them "thus it is written and thus it behoved Christ to suffer and rise from the dead the third day. And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things. And behold, I send the promise f my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye be endued with power from on high. You see, repentance and remission of sins in His name. How do we receive remission of sins? Thru baptism in Jesus name... see Acts 2:38 for the fulfillment of Luke 24:45-49
Why not?
If you have not been baptized in Jesus name you are to get baptized correctly.
I believe if you fell back into sin and been backslidden a long time I feel its necessary.
Amen
When I got baptized I was a 17yr old teenager…and I think I did it out of fear…I was given a Bible study on the rapture!😱 and then got baptized that very day…
