It would at least be a first step from a three stepper persepctive and would be a giant step from mine!

I don't see how it's possible for a Trinitarian to have a "wave of understanding regarding baptism in Jesus name" and not change their view on the Godhead.

Why not? To believe that Jesus is the name of God is not something you have to be a Oneness to believe. Trinitarians are monotheistic and believe in one God also.
The scriptures where the formula is noted in Acts say Jesus name or the "name of the Lord" so that is also clear.
That is the reason there is a substantial number of AOG churches that baptize "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, which is Jesus Christ".
When I was in a UPC Bible College thiry years ago they told us that in a survey about 1/3 of AOG churches baptized this way. I don't know if that still holds true.

I didn't know that! 
I don't see how they can say the name of the Father is Jesus Christ and the name of the Son is Jesus Christ, and the name of the Holy Ghost is Jesus Christ and still follow the tenets of Trinitarianism.
And, yes, I believe that formula for baptism is valid.

Mark,
Ask Dan if the things I'm saying are true or not.

Re: Forum is Ex-Pentecostal??
I consider myself a Pentecostal- a moderate to liberal one, but a Pentecostal non -the -less. This forum is a gathering place for people with apostolic backgrounds, or practicing apostolics of various flavors.

I stand corrected!! Sandra and a handful of others are the only reason I ever watch it so I had gotten my pastel colors mixed up. I average about two hours of TBN per year and that seems about right to me.
