Do you believe baptism is necessary? Do you believe any words should be spoken over the baptized? If so, what words do you think should be spoken?

I am not sure what leads you to think I have a problem with the mention of his name....when I think it's the sweetest name I know for who HE is and what it REPRESENTS....
If your question really is "do I think baptism in itself is salvific" then I will undoubtedly say "No"...having said that, I am not suggesting we are not to obey the command to be baptized.
In the same manner, we are commanded to partake in the Lord's Supper....yet, it is not for the purpose of salvation....
....quid pro quo... if you believe water baptism is salvific, do you also believe partaking in the Lord's Supper is salvific? If your answer is no that the Lord's Supper is not salvific, then I ask you "why not"?
