others believe that a person who comes to christ, recieves the HG but dies before being baptized would be saved but if they refused baptism they would not be saved.
in all the above cases some of us believe that Jesus name baptism is the ONLY effectual form of baptism, some of us believe Jesus name baptism is "more biblical" but do not believe that it is exclusive.
Others believe that baptism in either Jesus name or the titles are on equal footing.
Did I leave anything out?

Yes. Some believe that you must be baptized "in the name of the Lord Jesus", others "in the name of Jesus" and still others "in the name of Jesus Christ". Or pick your combination. Some will be adamant that to be baptized in ANY other way is a one-way ticket to hell.
