I'm fine with the first one as long as you are not saying it while they are under the water. When the feet stop kicking it's time to check on the candidate.

Hey, if you would say all that stuff, and then put them under in the name of Jesus, I think it would be fine.

Naw I will just stick to the way the Apostles did it...

Acts 2:38

38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
KJV

Acts 8:16
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
KJV

Acts 10:48-11:1

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
KJV

Acts 19:5
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
KJV

Well, in case you didn't notice, there were three different wordings in those four scriptures. What do you do with that????

The mode offered by Sherri, after quoting Matthew 28, God's breath inspired Word, emphatically states that this verse is fulfilled in Acts 2 ... a mainstay of Oneness doctrine

yet because the preliminary remarks before this Jesus name baptism contains the 3 dreaded titles of God in sequence ... it is discounted as blasphemous.

Its almost hilarious to hear ministers of the Word, and the protectors of Truth, react in such a manner about the same message they preach ...

can't y'all realize that this is a Jesus name baptism? or
does your vitriole towards your trinitarian brethren or anything remotely trinitarian sounding destroy the synapes leading to your brain and cloud your better judgment?

Does this mode ... buckle your brick wall theology?
Does this phraseology as stated and preached by you in the same manner ... make you a compromiser?

Does the mention of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, in that order, give you the heeby jeebys and make you writhe in pain?

Let go and let God ...

Honestly Dan,

Was Jesus' command to go and repeat the command, or to go and baptize in the NAME?

Again, why would this need to be added unless someone didn't have a full understanding of who the NAME of the F, S, & HG is?

.......and a lot of people really don't have a full understanding of who the NAME of the F< S< AND HG is.

I don't believe like Sherri and Eddie......I believe baptism is a MUST. And I don't know if they are trying to appease everyone. But I see nothing wrong with the words they say prior to baptism. We need to use the words of Jesus!

Actually, you have a golden opportunity to preach a little one God message in the baptismal tank! And a visual aid also.........

Egg-zactly!! Not to mention that the early Jewish apostles (according to most early church history scholars) baptized their candidates after the fassion of the Jewish Mikveh that they were acCUSTOMED too.

Go read and learn about that. Then be careful when you claim WE baptize the SAME way the early church did.
