Jesus Name water baptism is the only Bible way. I can do nothing else, or teach nothing else. But I will not be angry with God if He imputes to them Jesus Name baptism because they openly declared His Name, and declared themselves as His followers by what is recognized worldwide as Christian baptism...or if He recieves the prayer they prayed in Jesus Name BEFORE THEY GOT IN THE WATER, or WHILE THEY WERE IN THE WATER, or a confession of faith made two weeks before. I CANNOT FIND A WAY TO SCRIPTURALLY PROVE THAT HE WILL ACCEPT THIS--SO I CANNOT PREACH IT OR RECEIVE IT--BUT I CANNOT TAKE THE ROLE OF GOD AND BE THE FINAL JUDGE.
Jesus Name baptism is the ONLY SCRIPTURAL WAY. God is sovereign, and I am certain He will be true to His Word--but my logic often falls short and I have to leave the final judgment up to the Judge. I would baptize every single person that I can in Jesus Name, and I will ALWAYS DOUBT that they are saved if they have not been--but I will also always have that lingering hope that there may be some way that God can impute salvation to men and women who have given ALL THEIR LIVES FOR HIM, yet having not known the Truth about baptism. I will NEVER KNOW until I get there.
Was that clear as mud?
