COGIC - Baptism in Jesus Name
I'm about to join this COGIC near where I own a home in Baltimore.
I'm not living there right now, but that's another story.
Anyway, I've attended several services there and have enjoyed them. I spoke with the Pastor and he told me that he baptized folks, "in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in Jesus Name" so as to be agreement with all scriptures concerning baptism.
I don't see this as compromising the truth of God's Word.
What do you all think?

Me thinks that it is cool, but not all parties will be satisfied with this.

Re: COGIC - Baptism in Jesus Name
(of course, I have to ask....)
The fact that COGIC teaches the Trinity instead of Oneness is not an issue in your mind?

It is.
However, I refuse to witness to someone, invite to my church and have them come to the Lord in repentance-- beginning their walk with Lord in an environment where they will be presented a performance based salvation.

To me or to 1399??
Only thing that could be considered trinity doctrine by alot of the UPC peoples is just the baptism formula...having the name of Jesus there seals the deal.

No, COGIC view of God is trinitarian, a view that I do not subscribe to.

The COGIC I belonged to never mentioned the trinity (never did witness a baptism though). Unlike the oneness churches I've gone to, they don't seem to be too worried about teaching that they're right and everyone else is wrong.  It was really like that in all the trinitarian churches I attended. It was in the statement of belief, but otherwise nothing was really mentioned that I'd have a problem with today.

OK... Why not choose a 1-stepper Oneness church instead?
There are quite a few out there.
