At several points in the Scriptures, God renames individuals (Abraham, Peter, Paul) as a sign of their new nature and mission. One of the first tasks of mankind was for Adam to name the creatures. Naming a thing assigns a certain understanding of it and its purpose. When God is involved, the name change is an act of consecration to God's calling. In Baptism, which regenerates an individual and makes him or her the child of God, purifies the soul, and destines him or her for heaven, it is fitting for a name to be given.
