And the “sign of the cross” as a personal unction, is found where in the Bible?

And Jesus told the Apostles:

Paraphrasing from a Gospel:

Go out and spread the Gospel, baptizing all in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Sometimes, I really wonder if you guys read the Gospels of if you just read St. Paul.

I don't understand this use of "unction".

It sounds like Tertulian was doing it (250 AD) even as the Church was still putting the Bible together in its final form.

Doesn't the Bible tell us that it does not contain all of the works of Jesus Christ?

If it cannot contain all of His works, how could it contain all of the works of His Church?
