Sometime after this, Jesus's disciples were traveling and preaching what they had heard and seen, and they were also baptizing people in Jesus's name. During this time, they gathered together and were united in powerful prayer and fasting. Jesus appeared to them again because they were praying to the Father in his name. He came and stood in the middle of them and asked, "What do you want me to give to you?"
They said to him, "Lord, we want you to tell us the name that we should call this church because the people have argued about it."
The Lord said to them, "Truly, why do the people to complain and argue about this? Have they not read the holy writings that say you must take on yourselves the name of Christ, which is my name? Whoever takes on my name and endures to the end will be saved at the last day. You will be called by this name at that time. Therefore, whatever you do should be in my name and you shall call the church by my name. You must also call on the Father in my name to bless the church for me.
