Ecclesiology 201 Guidelines

Discussion on matters of general mainstream Christian churches. What are the differences between Catholics and protestants? How has the charismatic movement affected the church? Are Southern baptists different from fundamentalist baptists? It is also for discussions about the nature of the church.

This forum is primarily for Christians to discuss matters of Christian doctrine, and is not the area for debate between atheists (or those opposing orthodox Christianity) and theists. Inquiring atheists (or sincere seekers/doubters/unorthodox) seeking only Christian participation and having demonstrated a manner that does not seek to undermine the orthodox Christian faith of others are also welcome, but must seek Moderator permission first. When defining “Christian” for purposes of this section, we mean persons holding to the core essentials of the historic Christian faith such as the Trinity, the Creatorship of God, the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the atonement, the future bodily return of Christ, the future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the final judgment. Persons not holding to these core doctrines are welcome to participate in the Comparative Religions section without restriction, in Theology 201 as regards to the nature of God and salvation with limited restrictions, and in Christology for issues surrounding the person of Christ and the Trinity. Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions. Additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101.

    If that is the case why didn't Jesus just tell them to baptize in his name instead of the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

    Jesus is the Son's personal name. Not the "name of the Trinity" - if any name covers all three persons of the Trinity it would be the Lord's name in the OT, YHWH, or Jehovah.

      In the OT YHWH is the Lord. In the Greek NT Jesus is the Lord. The fulness of the Godhead dwells in him bodily. You cannot say Jesus is the Lord apart from knowing this.

        "Jesus" was the Son's personal name, like yours is David. It mean's "YHWH Saves" - it only names the Son, not the Holy Spirit or the Father. The fullness of the Godhead dwells in each of the persons of the Trinity, including the Father and the Holy Spirit. In the OT the name of God, YHWH referred to the entire Godhead, the Trinity, since at that time it was not revealed that there were three persons in the Godhead. Therefore if any name refers to the entire trinity, it would be YHWH. And the capitalized word "LORD" in the OT was actually a replacement for YHWH in the Hebrew. "Lord" in the New Testament when referring to Jesus is the translation of the word "Adonai"

        "Jesus" in the New Testament is just a personal name, Iēsous in greek.In Hebrew or Aramaic it would Yeshua, which is basically the same root we get the name Joshua from. Jesus is basically the modern English version of Yeshua. Were you baptized in the name of Yeshua? If not you were not baptized in the correct name, eh?

          "Christ" is his title, Jesus is His name. It's more proper to say "Jesus the Christ", but more practical to say Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ.
          The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            and "Christ" is the Greek word for "Messiah" I believe.

                Um... Jesus was the name given to Him at birth. Christ is a descriptive title meaning Messiah. Jesus Christ is not the name of the Trinity.

                    I'm really curious how he got such a basic concept so wrong. I'm sure he'll explain that, cause he has WAY more Bibles than you do.

                      It almost sounds like he's advocating a form of moralism.

                        And Messiah is the Hebrew word for anointed. The Hebrew and the Greek are equivalent words so what we have is a title for Jesus - Jesus the anointed.

                          Did you mean modalism? Like if a superhero had three separate secret identities?
                          If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

                            Yes, that is what I meant to write.

                              I laughed when there was a campaign not to call Smokey the Bear by that name, because we don't say Santa the Claus or Easter the Bunny.

                              But, Jesus Christ or Jesus the Christ - "Christ" is still His title, not His name.

                                Actually, his correct name is Smokey Bear. That title is protected under Smokey Bear Act of 1952 (16 U.S.C. 580 (p-2). The misquoted phrase "Smokey the Bear" is a result of the Mandela effect.
