The Apostles water baptized only in the name of Jesus Christ. How is it we have Religions, going against the doctrine of truth
concerning the true church structure ? Jesus stated in John 10:1 you are a thief and robber you accept anything other
than the message the Apostles taught. Jesus stated also in John 3:5 you cannot get into heaven without being water baptized and filled with Holy Ghost. Acts 2:4 states that when you are Born of Spirit you will speak in other tongues.

On the day of Pentecost there were people of many nationalities gathered together each with their own language. Acts 2:4 states "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." (KJV) This was a witness to all nationalities that God saves ALL people not just the Isrealites or the Romans, etc. In other words God is not a respecter of persons. Speaking in tongues is a gift of the Spirit. Read 1 Corinthians 12:4 -31 for a better understanding of these gifts.

You have a terrible sence of interpretation. None of those verses say what you said. Read Acts 2:4 it says "THEY WERE FILLED WITH T HE HOLY SPIRIT AND BEGAN TO SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES." Where do you get out of that that that when you are born of the spirit you will speak with tongues???
In John 3:5 where does it say that being born of water is baptism???
In John 10:1 the apostles teaching is not even mentioned. You seriously need to study reading comprehension before you start teaching the Bible.

There is nothing in Scripture to indicate the actual method of baptism used by the Apostles. It seems pretty clear that they didn't always baptize by immersion, since they lived in a desert country, and many of the places they preached had no water for great distances except the town well. All we know for certain is that they used water, and that they baptized in the name of the Most Holy Trinity, because that is what Jesus commanded them to do. (Matt 28:19) That's what baptizing "in the name of Jesus" means - baptizing according to His will, as He commanded.

* 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."
* Acts 8:16, "For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus."
* Acts 10:48, "And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days."
* Acts 19:5, "When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus."
* Acts 22:16, "And now why do you delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.’
Let's take a look at what is going on in the verses. The phrase, "in the name of the Lord" is not a reference to a baptismal formula, but a reference to authority. It is similar to hearing someone say, "Stop in the name of the Law!". We understand that the "name of the Law" means by the authority of the Law. It is the same with baptism "in Jesus' name." To baptise in Jesus' name is to baptize in the authority of Jesus.
