Whether he was just giving me answer "to make me happy" or not, I could not tell. Their literature does seem like they could go either way. Perhaps they do go either way, depending upon the beliefs of the local leaders involved, or what have you. To be as successful as the Mormon Church has been, they probably have to give on a lot of points.
As far as Geleen Beck's mocking goes, I missed that. I've never heard his radio show. If he did say that, I think it's unfortunate and folks ought to politely point out his gaff. He'd probably clarify himself and apologize.
What if his only exposure to "Jesus name baptism" consisted of Steve Winter and Rev. Reckard? It would be easy to see where he get's his mocking tone.

I had a teacher in high school who was Mormon. The literature I read said that they baptized in Jesus Name, and he confirmed that he was baptized in Jesus Name.
