Matthew 28:19 (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up)
The word translated "in" is the Greek word eis. It means "into," "inside of." We are baptized into water, into the church, by means of the Holy Spirit. His name becomes ours by begettal (or adoption, as Paul says in Romans 8). It is our spiritual Family name! Therefore, our responsibility is to grow and uphold that nameto bring honor upon it by our words, attitudes, and deeds.
