They should close all their prayers in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost!

Okay, I know this is off topic, and I appologize, and I DO appreciate Sister's point, BUT this bothers me so much that I have to reply
If the NAME of the father, son and Holy Ghost is Jesus, then doing something in the name of (or by the authority of) the Father, Son and Holy Ghost is the same as doing it in the name of (or by the authority of) JESUS. Doing something in the name of the President of the U.S.A. is the SAME as doing it in the name of Barak Obama.
Trinitarian churches honor the command to do ALL things in the name of Jesus, they just interpret Jesus words with regard to baptism differently. Based on a oneness belief, the two statements of gramatically identical.
Now back to your originally scheduled thread, already in progress.........
