All Trinitarians are Lost!!!!!!!!!!!

[Amanah]

Baptism is the heart of the Trinity/Oneness debate. If there is one God and the name that was given us whereby we must be saved is Jesus, then baptizing in Jesus name is the only sensible baptism.

Why anyone would baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost is beyond me as those are titles not names.

His name is Jesus. Jesus' blood was shed for the remission of our sins. We are buried with him in baptism and raised with him to walk in fullness of life. There is no name given among men under heaven whereby we must be saved.

When a person repents of their sins and receives the Holy Ghost, God has done a wonderful work in their life that is beyond question.

The vital question then is, when is the blood applied, is it applied at repentance, or at baptism. Is it by grace alone? Or are there things we must do in obedience. The bible says that we are the children of God if we are led by the Spirit of God.

It can't be us doing the work; it must be Christ in us doing the work, remitting our sins, filling us with the Spirit, leading us in our walk with him. We are the bride, responding, following, and submitting.

I see two twists that our path can take if we are not balanced, the legalistic, controlling, path or the path of easy grace where we do nothing. Shall we sin so that grace may abound? God forbid. I think both paths are incorrect. One path veers towards cultic extremism, while the other veers towards complacent irrelevancy. I’d almost rather be extreme then irrelevant in the face of a lost and dying world.

What I really desire is to understand the truth of God’s word untainted by the traditions and opinions of men, I want to be renewed and transformed to be like Jesus to a lost world.
