» Brian Tubbs - Asking in Jesus' Name

There have been several posts in this thread on asking things in Jesus' name, etc. Asking something in Jesus' name is more than just mouthing those words. If I kneel down and pray: "God, please give me a 50-inch big screen TV -- In Jesus Name I pray and ask, Amen" -- that does NOT mean I've prayed "in Jesus' name."

Remember that one of the Ten Commandments is: Don't take the name of the Lord in vain.

Just throwing God's name around or Jesus' name around (again, I see a distinction only WITHIN the Trinity) isn't what the Bible talks about when it says to pray in Jesus' name.

There's a lot more to it.
