does the preacher who did the baptizing believe that Acts 2:38 is the only way to be saved?
I think it is safe to say that he believes salvation is through grace by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ as our only saviour. That repentance is the beginning of the salvation process that is a life long process as we follow Christ. Part of following Christ would be identifying ourselves with him in baptism. The question isn't does one have to be baptized but rather why would a Christ follower not want to be baptized?
Does his wife have cut hair, wear make up and jewelry or pants?
Yes, yes, yes and yes!
Does he go to the movies? Does he bowl? Amusement parks?
Yes, yes and yes!
There are important qualifiers to determine if "we" can accept these baptisms.
It's easy to report 67 being baptized. The Sanhedrin needs more information in order to approve of these alleged "births of water". |

Titus2woman on AFF
"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
