All I'm saying is that we need to be very careful superimposing our beliefs over the Bible when it should be the other way around.

One could argue that saying, "On the command of our Lord, I now baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, which is the Lord Jesus Christ" as being more biblically inclusive than just saying the name Jesus.

I don't do it that way. I am only making a point that if we're going to get extremely technical, then we may not have the "formula" exactly right.
Thanks MOW I totally respect your POV.


You did say that you have baptizeed someone that way right?
