ECT How is Paul's message different?

To understand what being baptized in the name of Jesus is, all we have to do is look to other passages. The bible is it's best own best commentary.

Acts 10:47 “Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
"In the name of" simply means "by the authority of". Please do not remain so dense.

I agree but what baptism did Jesus authorize for believers?
Jesus was a minister of the circumcision when He was in Israel. The water baptism that He commanded the twelve apostles for the twelve tribes had to do with Israel and their priesthood to the nations.

Note that Jesus' command to baptize was "in the name of" the Father AND of the Son AND of the Holy Ghost. They ALL has the SAME "name" and the SAME authority. Matthew 28:19

I agree. Since we never see someone baptized in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, it is my understanding that being baptized in the name of Jesus is the same thing.

In order to understand someone was re-water baptized, we need to establish what it means when the bible says "baptized in the name of Jesus".

Re-baptizing - for all sorts of reasons and events - was an Old Testament Israelite practice.

Touch a dead body? Time to get water baptized.

You were out among the Gentiles? Time to get water baptized?

You've entered into a vow? Time to get water baptized.

You were healed of this, that, the other? Time to get water baptized.

Animal sacrifice? First, be sure to water baptize all the instruments for that - and yourself, as well.

You're going to go into The Temple? Time to get water baptized.

Where do you think the RCC got their water ritual (each time they enter into their assembly hall) from?

Duh-uh.

You simply do not know your Bible.

Its called incompetence.

That, and you have consistently ignored when passages about all those kinds of re-baptizings, water of separation/ purification rituals, or "divers washings" have been posted to you.

It's called wilful ignorance.

Acts 17: 11, 12.

The water for that was sprinkled upon the unclean (Num.19:19).

A sprinking is not a baptism.

What they refer to "holy water" came straight from pagan religions.

If you have any verses which prove that anyone was re-baptized with water let's see them.

Otherwise, admit that you have no evidence.
