'In My Name' in the Bible

I will hold accountable whoever does not listen to My words that he speaks in My name.

But the prophet who dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods—that prophet must die.’

so David sent 10 young men instructing them, “Go up to Carmel, and when you come to Nabal, greet him in my name.

But the Lord said to me, “These prophets are prophesying a lie in My name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, worthless divination, the deceit of their own minds.

“Therefore, this is what the Lord says concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, though I did not send them, and who say, ‘There will never be sword or famine in this land.’ By sword and famine these prophets will meet their end.

“I have heard what the prophets who prophesy a lie in My name have said, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’

‘I have not sent them’—this is the Lord’s declaration—‘and they are prophesying falsely in My name; therefore, I will banish you, and you will perish—you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.’”

for they are prophesying falsely to you in My name. I have not sent them.” This is the Lord’s declaration.

This is what the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, says to Ahab son of Kolaiah and to Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, the ones prophesying a lie to you in My name: “I am about to hand them over to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will kill them before your very eyes.

because they have committed an outrage in Israel by committing adultery with their neighbors’ wives and have spoken a lie in My name, which I did not command them. I am He who knows, and I am a witness.” This is the Lord’s declaration.

“For My name will be great among the nations, from the rising of the sun to its setting. Incense and pure offerings will be presented in My name in every place because My name will be great among the nations,” says Yahweh of Hosts.

And whoever welcomes one child like this in My name welcomes Me.

For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among them.”

For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many.

“Whoever welcomes one little child such as this in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me does not welcome Me, but Him who sent Me.”

“Don’t stop him,” said Jesus, “because there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name who can soon afterward speak evil of Me.

Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and they will deceive many.

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;

He told them, “Whoever welcomes this little child in My name welcomes Me. And whoever welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me. For whoever is least among you—this one is great.”

Then He said, “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Don’t follow them.

Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit—the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you.

You did not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

In that day you will not ask Me anything.“I assure you: Anything you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

Until now you have asked for nothing in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

In that day you will ask in My name. I am not telling you that I will make requests to the Father on your behalf.

so that no one can say you were baptized in my name.
