If that's what your pastor felt to preach, that's fine, it got the job done. But we still have to be focused on what that job is, and what salvation consists of. If you want to call it 3-steps or whatever, that doesn't matter to me, that 3-stepper name is irrelevant and kind of demeaning, what it is is the BORN-AGAIN experience. ALL of
Acts 2:38 has to be followed, and with the knowledge of the person following
Acts 2:38. If someone gets baptized in JESUS' name, and doesn't know that they're getting their sins washed away, and that there is no other name, whereby they must be saved, then they just got wet. Anyways, great to hear GOD filled some people with HIS Spirit. I do NOT, however, think it wise to not baptize someone, if the ability to baptize is there. If you all have a baptismal tank and didn't fill it on Wednesday because you figured, "Eh, we'll just do it on Sunday", I'd say that's not good, and it's not very apostolic of all of you. But, praise GOD HE's merciful to you in your error and merciful to me in mine (the main thing HE's not wanting, is for us to be complacent in error!).
GOD BLESS!
