 THE NAME
The Name

Mark 16:16
He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but
he that believeth not shall
be damned.
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every
one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Obviously, baptism is very important, but does it matter

how we are baptized? Is there a correct baptism, or
will anything work? If you believe the Bible, then YES,
there is a correct baptism.
Most churches baptize in the Name of the Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost, but this is not correct according to the
Bible.
In Acts 19, there were certain people who already
believed on Jesus Christ, but had not yet received
the Holy Ghost into their hearts. The apostle Paul
knew the correct way to receive the Holy Ghost, so
he asked them, “Unto what then were ye baptized?”
And they said, “Unto John’s baptism.” (Acts 19:3) Paul
saw that they were not baptized according to Peter’s
commandment in Acts 2:38, so he instructed them to
be re-baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus. Then, as
promised, they received the Holy Ghost.

that shall burn as an oven…

Malachi 4:5-6
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the
coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the
children, and the heart of the children to their fathers,
lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

The last Book of the Old Testament promises the

destruction of the world. But before the end, Elijah
the prophet is predicted to return and introduce the
Messiah. Some say that John the Baptist fulfilled this
prophecy.
Two thousand years ago, the Jews were expecting the
Messiah to come. They knew that Malachi prophesied
a man with the spirit of Elijah would introduce the
Messiah to them. But when John the Baptist came,
he wasn’t what they expected Elijah to be. When they
questioned Jesus about why Elijah had not come first,
He clearly told them that John was the fulfillment of
that prophecy: “And if ye will receive it, this is Elias,
which was for to come.” (Elias is the Greek form of
the Hebrew name, Elijah.)

28 29
 It was only a small group of people that received this
revelation. To most of the religious leaders, John was no
more than an overzealous critic of their organizations.
Not only did they not recognize the spirit of Elijah, but
worse, they also missed the Coming of Christ.
So did John the Baptist fulfill Malachi’s
prophecy? Not completely.
First of all, the world has not “burned as an oven”
yet, so we know that at least part of Malachi 4 is yet
to happen. Another part of the Scripture that was not
fulfilled by John was, “turn the heart of the children
to their fathers.” And, Jesus, Himself, prophesied
that Elijah shall (future) come and restore all things.
(Matt 17:11)
Therefore we should be looking for Elijah
before the Second Coming of Christ!
Now, in this modern day, it is time for the Second
Coming of the Lord Jesus. Again, we are promised
that the spirit of Elijah will introduce Him to us
according to Malachi 4. But what group of people will
recognize Elijah when he comes? Only those who are
looking for him.
These Words of our Lord and Saviour come to mind
when we think of Malachi’s prophecy for these closing
hours of time:
But I say unto you, That Elias is come
already, and they knew him not...
Matthew 17:12

 What if we miss this coming of Elijah? Will References
we then miss the Second Coming of Christ, II Kings 2:15
And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit
like the scribes and Pharisees missed His First of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground
before him.
Coming because they did not recognize John Isaiah 40:3-4
The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the
the Baptist? desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall
be made straight, and the rough places plain: [John the Baptist]

Malachi 3:1
Behold, I will send my messenger [John the Baptist], and he shall prepare the way before me:
and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant,
whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Malachi 4:1-6
For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven [hasn’t happened yet]; and all the proud,
yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith
the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and
ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day
that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel,
with the statutes and judgments.
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of
the LORD:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children [John the Baptist], and the heart of the
children to their fathers [modern Elijah], lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

Matthew 11:10
For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare
thy way before thee. [Malachi 3:1, John the Baptist]

Matthew 11:14
And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. [John the Baptist]

Matthew 17:11-12
And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
[Modern Elijah]
But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him
whatsoever they listed. [John the Baptist] Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

Luke 1:17
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the
children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the
Lord. [John the Baptist]

The Word

Hebrews 4:12 Men and women, friends, do you realize

For the word of God is the God of Heaven that raised up Christ
quick, and powerful, and Jesus from the dead, He is not dead but
sharper than any twoedged He’s alive. And if He kept His Word to
sword, piercing even to the David, if He kept it to Elijah, if He kept

spirit, and of the joints and children, if He kept it to--to Daniel, He will

the thoughts and intents of
the heart.

With so many doctrines, denominations, and cults in

this modern world, where does the true believer fit in?
If Peter, James, and John were here on earth today,
what denomination would they join? Would miracles
still follow their ministry or would they profess that
those days are long past? Would they compromise on
baptism? Would they follow their church doctrine even
though it is a little off the Word? Would they believe
the Bible, or would they believe the Pharisees and
Sadducees of today?
Ask yourself this question: If Jesus Christ was here
today, would you forsake all to follow Him? Would you
believe His Word?
He has given you the same opportunity that He gave
to His disciples. He put this tract in your hand to point
you back to His Word, His Bible. Will you compromise?
