I bet most, if not all, of these men were Trinitarian.
I bet they didn't believe the initial evidence doctrine.
Alsp, just because they mentioned baptism in the name of Jesus you assume they believed in baptismal regeneration? You assume they believe exactly as you do because they simple mention the name?
What of the modern Charismatics who baptize in the name of Jesus but don't believe doing so is necessary to salvation? Are they Apostolic, too?
