NLE Choppa was recently baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and it raises an important question: What does the Bible actually teach about baptism? In this episode of The Babbler, Marshall Wall discusses NLE Choppa’s baptism and uses the conversation as an opportunity to examine what Scripture says about the name used in Christian baptism. Rather than speculating about NLE Choppa’s heart, motives, or eternal destiny, this episode focuses on the Bible itself. What did the apostles preach? How were people baptized in the Book of Acts? What did Jesus mean when He commanded His disciples to baptize in the singular name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Throughout the Book of Acts, we repeatedly find people being baptized in the name of Jesus Christ: • Acts 2:38 • Acts 8:16 • Acts 10:48 • Acts 19:5 • Acts 22:16 The episode also explores Acts 4:12, Matthew 28:19, Colossians 2:9, and 1 Timothy 3:16, examining the biblical claim that Jesus Christ is God manifested in flesh and that the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Him. This isn’t about taking the word of a preacher, denomination, YouTuber, or religious tradition. Open the Bible. Search the Scriptures. See what the Word actually says. If you’ve ever wondered: Why do some Christians baptize in Jesus’ name? What is the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Why did the apostles baptize in Jesus’ name? Is Jesus truly God manifest in flesh? What does the Bible say about the plan of salvation? This episode is for you. And if you have never been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, or you believe in Jesus-name baptism but aren’t sure how to explain it to someone else, Marshall invites you to reach out and start the conversation. The question isn’t simply what tradition teaches. The question is: What does the Bible say?
