Understanding the Meaning of Baptism - "IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT - Conclusion

 In the name of the Son. We recognized Jesus as the only-begotten Son of God. Jesus is "the way," the only way whom we can have a good relationship with Jehovah. (John 14:6) Jesus is also our Redeemer, the one who died for us so that we might gain life. That knowledge moves us to follow his example every day of our life, not just when we get baptized. (1 John 2:6) So we zealously preach, as he did, letting nothing deter us.(Luke 4:43) We are even willing to endure persecution for loyally serving God. (2 Timothy 3:12) We respect Jesus as the "head of the congregation," so we gladly submit to those whom he entrusts to take the lead and to care for his followers." - EPHESIANS 4:8, 11, 13; 5:23.

In the name of the holy spirt. We accept the truth about the holy spirit. It is, not a person or part of a Trinity, but God's active force. We recognize that holy spirit guided the prophets and the Bible writers, so we regularly read the Bible and foll0w its teachings.  (2 Peter 1:20:21) And we avoid committing serious sins, such conduct could not only block God's spirit from reaching us but also hinder the free flow of his spirit in the congregation. -EPHESIANS 4:30.
