Re: Glenn Beck mocks JN baptism
Glenn Beck is a convert to Mormonism, so a discussion of his beliefs is relevant.
Also, the whole issue surrounding "baptism in Jesus' name" is so arcane and obscure to the broader culture that it does make you wonder where he may have heard the "quote" that he "mocked" or if it was just something he picked up from his Mormonism. "Jesus name" baptism is asserted so often by Mormons that that this is probably the best place to start.
Of course, we still don't have any bona fide evidence that Beck mocked anybody - we're just going on hearsay. So when a Lunkhead like yourself chimes in with his bizarre ravings, all we are really left with is the Lunkhead...

I might have learned something today.  I had always thought that the COC baptized in Jesus name but I am not sure what they say during baptism. I just assumed that because they quoted Acts 2:38 as their number one scripture that they baptized in Jesus name. |
The vast majority do NOT baptize in Jesus Name they baptize into the Trinity although they profess there is NO baptisimal formula yet they use one though not correct.

Wasn't this you?

And here's the admin list, ya Lunkhead.

I wanted to add a "furthermore here as well, Light. I have never at any time on this forum made any kind of references to my education except once about some non-credited auditing of some courses that I did as a kind of remedial catching up on science classes that I had neglected. How do you know if I even graduated from High School?
You make many leaps to some rather far fetched conclusions about things. I'd like to encourage you to slow down and take a closer look at the incredible things that are going on all around you right now. You'll probably come away with even more reasons to praise God!

Re: Glenn Beck mocks JN baptism
I have not read this thread other than a couple of posts. Just wanted to say that I seriously doubt Glen Beck has an agenda against Oneness religous people who baptize in Jesus name.
Sounds like he was mocking fundamentalist Christians in general. Not something I like but not all that uncommon among the media elite regardless of their political persuasion.
The left coast and much of the east coast and rust belt have no clue as to what conservative fundamentalist Christians are all about. They just take extremists like the nut Baptist preacher who hates homosexuals and somehow thinks protesting at American soldiers funerals is a good thing to do as what we are.
Rather ironic though that someone who believes Mormonism would mock any other religion!
Gotta love how Light tries to act like this is some horrible thing that makes GB a traitor to political conservatives. I guess a dim light is better than no light at all.

Boy I hope so, since few seem to believe what I quoted GB as saying, or my interpretation of context of what I heard. From first post,
Marcbee wrote,
<< ...JN baptizing preachers weren't being specifically mocked, but used as emblematic of mock-worthy extremists.>>
He pretended to "be" a wild preacher demanding a hypothetical someone to let him baptize them in JESUS NAME and cast out those DEMONS. The mini skit didn't take long--it was just a strange dramatized allusion, to serve a purpose I already proposed.

Like you said, you read only a couple posts in this thread. (And apparently not the first one--because it was a radio show.)

Re: Glenn Beck mocks JN baptism
Many years ago I was visiting the Mormon Temple in Oakland California and it just happened that they were baptizing people that day. Indeed, they do baptize in Jesus name. They also believe that Jesus is our "big brother" and we should all aspire to become god as he is god and that we all have the opportunity to work our way up the godhead ladder with the potential to becoming equal with "god the father".
They claim Christ as savior then prove that they really believe in salvation by works. They claim to believe in teh God of the Bible, then teach that we are all gods striving to become as the father...
