Personally, I was upset to see baptisms happen at my former COGIC church.
The Pastor told me he indeed used the titles, but also used the name of Jesus.
"I baptize you in the Name of of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, in the Name of Jesus."
I witnessed his baptisms. That's not what he did.
I won't even speak about the dishonesty.
I'm speaking about how that well intentioned folks were lead to practice a Biblical tenet in a way that is not Biblical. It was saddening more than maddening.
Attending the COGIC church I did was not my first choice, but after witnessing the baptisms, I really didn't think I could stay there much longer.
