40 Q&A_36. Is it necessary to change my name to a Christian name after being baptized?
Summary
The speaker addresses the question of whether a Christian name change is necessary after baptism. Citing the example of Apollo, the speaker argues there is no biblical requirement to change one's name. In fact, keeping one's original name can be an advantage, as it provides an opportunity for testimony when questioned by non-believers.

Zac Poonen - The Essential Requirement To Be Baptized
Zac Poonen · Jul 18, 2022
Baptism is presented not as a prerequisite for salvation, but as an act of obedience and a public testimony of a new life in Christ. The core message is that baptism signifies that the believer has turned from sin and desires not to sin again, acknowledging that the 'old man' nature has been crucified with Christ. This testimony is simple: believing in Jesus and being willing to publicly declare that desire to sin no more.
