Not completely.

I've posted questions, not assertions.

where is your post that GOD the Father, GOD the Son, and GOD the Holy Spirit are in the Bible?

If it is not important to be baptized in Jesus name, then what's the big deal. You are saying that someone who was previously baptized in the titles doesnt need to be rebaptized but then they baptize in the titles at your church and your miffed??

I've spoken withe a few leaders in the AoG lately. They are having a problem...they are finding that less and less of their members are receiving the Holy Ghost! Matter of fact they have more in their churches that have never received the Holy Ghost than those that have. Wanna know why? They aren't teaching the importance of receiving the Holy Ghost! Stop teaching that the Holy Ghost is important, people will stop seeking and receiving. Stop teaching baptism in Jesus name, people will stop getting baptized in Jesus name. Stop teaching the combination of the two, souls will be lost with their blood on your hands! You should deffinately find a church that teaches the necessity of Acts 2:38 new birth.

We don't "require" people to be rebaptized, but we teach why we do it in Jesus' name and they make that choice according to their understanding of Scripture. We don't teach that everyone else is lost. BUT we have had over 100 already this year baptized in Jesus' name. So people do get it!

We also don't teach that you HAVE to speak in tongues to be saved, but that everyone needs to. The vast majority of our people are Spirit filled, speaking in tongues. We present it as something that everyone needs and should want, and they receive it. We don't make it hard.

I don't agree that it is nonessential, but I can appreciate that your teaching it and people are getting it! So many have avoided the subject all together. That breaks my heart. Someday (if continued in the current trend) we will see major Oneness organizations forbid the rebaptism of those who have been baptized in the titles. I did not believe I HAD to receive the Holy Ghost when i got it....but oooh how i craved the power of God in my life. I did not believe that I HAD to be baptized in Jesus name when I was, but I had fallen absolutely in love with the name of Jesus. It was not till later that i began to understand that this is salvation and there is no other way. I don't wanna be mean, but i believe this truth will all of my heart!
