In 1927 Bishop Boyd Lawson left the PAW because of their use of Lord Jesus Christ and he insisted on using the name of Jesus Christ. The organization he founded was the Church of Jesus Christ and some of those ministers insisted on rebaptism if Lord Jesus Christ was used. His son, Boyd, is presiding bishop of the Churches of Jesus Christ International which is one of the groups surviving the splintering of the Church of Jesus Christ over the years. Their web site is

and on it they mention baptism in the name of Jesus

Yes, this is the same information I came across about the Lawson klan in the 20's.

My family was part of the PAJC that didn't merge with the PCI in 1945 to form the UPC; due to salvational issues such as "Is one saved at repentance? Is the blood squarely applied in water baptism? etc."

So I have always been instructed, and taught that the Name Jesus Christ only is to be used during baptism. I've adhered to this teaching.
