Here is a quote from Mormon.org

Jesus Christ taught that we must be baptised by immersion. He set the example Himself by being baptised to “fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15).

We are baptised for the remission of sins. (Acts 2:38, Acts 22:16). We are also baptised to become members of the Church of Jesus Christ, and to enter the kingdom of God (John 3:5).

Through the ordinance of baptism, we make a promise, called a covenant, with God. We promise to accept Christ, to become His followers, and to keep His commandments to the end of our lives. In return, our Heavenly Father promises to forgive our sins and let us return to live with Him, provided we keep our covenants.

First off, what is your point? Why would anyone try to draw a comparison?

Second there is no reference to baptizing in Jesus name in that quote. The COC quotes Acts 2:38 too but they baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit etc

My point was that Glen Beck being mormon has heard it done that way. I don't think he is making fun of those who baptize in Jesus name.

I might have learned something today. I had always thought that the COC baptized in Jesus name but I am not sure what they say during baptism. I just assumed that because they quoted Acts 2:38 as their number one scripture that they baptized in Jesus name.

The vast majority do NOT baptize in Jesus Name they baptize into the Trinity although they profess there is NO baptisimal formula yet they use one though not correct.
