Is Change Of Name Necessary After One Is Born Again? by Sinkills: 7:19pm On Aug 12, 2016 |
Most of our forefathers were African religious adherents or idol worshippers. As such we were given names that eulogize the deities or symbolise submission to the authority of the gods. Later after some have embraced Christ, they decide to do away with the things that have to do with idolatry. Some even go further to change their names from say, Ogunbiyi (the god of iron brought this to the world) to Oluwabiyi (God brought this about) or Nwagbara (child of the gods) to Nwachukwu (child of God). Do you think change of name after conversion is really necessary? |
