Now comes for many people the first, all-penetrating surprise: There is not a single act found in the Bible performed in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit! This important ascertainment has hopefully left an effective aftershock with all who are in the unbiblical tradition.

The real children of God, who do not just claim to be, but truly are faithful to the Scripture, are not concerned with what Athanasius, Augustin, Tertullian, Hieronymus or others have said, but they strive to know and believe what Peter, John, James and Paul said and was left to us in the written Word as »Thus saith the Lord«.

Whatever God said through His servants, who spoke in His name as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit, is not written in any catechism, not in any book of church doctrine and not in the “Didache”, which wrongly carries the title the “Doctrine of the twelve apostles”, not in the Talmud or Koran, but exclusively in the Bible. There exists only one absolute, which is the Holy Scripture.

For all who truly have the fear of God and take things seriously, it must be stated, that in the original Christianity no prayer was begun or ended in the triune formula. Not a single baptism, no healing of the sick, no blessing at all — absolutely nothing was done in Bible days by reciting, “in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost”. It is simply and commonly taken for granted because of church tradition.

Now all are encouraged to read the Holy Scripture as we have it and search therein to know how things are in actuality. Whoever has studied international church history about these important subjects has come to know that until the end of the second Christian century all things were done according to the example of the apostles in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. That is shown unto us overwhelmingly in the Holy Scripture itself from the witnesses of Jesus Christ.

Here I stand on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, I cannot do otherwise, so help me God!

The following questions are not meant to insult anyone, but only for self-examination. Every reader should realise the loving tone, but also the necessary seriousness, which is a must, that we should be urged to reflect and be led into a profound correction.
