They do not make a big deal over doctrinal differences as Apostolics would.

There is not any confusion that I know of.

I am not marked as a dog or a rebel for dis-regard to mode of baptism.

Now, I would ask you. Would you let a Trinitarian baptize his child as you Speak "in the name of Jesus" and he says Father son Holy Ghost?

Absolutely not in the church I pastor.

Cause I believe baptism is more than just some meaningless incantation.

The words mean something to me, and to God.

That is why I performed the baptism and spoke in Jesus name.

Are you saying when I baptized my kids it was meaningless and void?

If I were a pastor and a Trinity father wanted to baptize his child, I would agree to to it together.

I would speak in Jesus name, as he says F.S.HG..... as long as the name of Jesus was spoken over the baptism.

The one getting baptized he getting the benefit. Why rob the Baptism candidate Jesus name baptism over doctrinal pride?

I did not say that at all.

I am saying that what they believe is just as important as what was said.

But do they believe in a triune God as well?

Does their church teach that God is a trinity of persons?


Peer pressure is a powerful thing.

And daddy attending that church, and showing them its okay to attend a trinny church, tells them all they need to know.

And that is that basic doctrines, such as the Godhead, are not important.

They are being shown that there can be two divergent - yet equally true - views.

Speaking of my own experience with my two kids. We attended a trinny church for a bit and my kids both understand completely the three are one! They were not brainwashed into any 3-god teaching while we attended.
