My prayer for you is that you comprehend the profound significance of the name of Jesus. Without the name of Jesus, we are not his. By taking the name of Jesus (which is not automatic) by water baptism by immersion you take on Christ Himself.
There is no other way to take the name of Jesus except to baptize in Jesus name. Those persons who do everything in the name of Jesus EXCEPT to baptize in his name he will condemn them in last day, Matthew 7:22 -23. These are the unbelieving Believers who refuse to baptize in the name of Jesus for they don’t realize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: is one name, Jesus.
Baptism in the name of Jesus identifies you with your Father, and His kingdom. I’m a child of God and I need to have my Father’s name, the name is Jesus.
In closing, the same Lord of the Old Testament is the same Lord (Jesus) in the New Testament. The name of the Lord was so important for Moses to understand it, the Lord “descended” from heaven and “proclaimed” it to him, Exodus 34:5. Jesus came in his Father’s name, John 5:43;12:13. Since we know Jesus’ name we deduce the Father’s name is also “Jesus”. Jesus said, “I have declared unto them (his disciples) thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them,” John 17:26. If you understood the significance of the Lord’s proclamation and declaration of his name to his servants, you would hasten to baptize in the name of Jesus, Psalm 22:22 and Hebrews 2:12.
