I am not even discussing the merits or lack of merits concerning baptism being salvational. What I am saying is that the onesteppers here on AFF give the excuse that some do not see Jesus name baptism. But that means that the Holy Ghost did not do its job in leading these folks into all truth.

I don't believe the one stepper exUPC churches emphasize Jesus Name baptism enough. Not like the so called PCIers of old in the UPC did.
It is as if since they don't see baptism as a prerequisite to salvation they no longer emphasize the correct biblical method when it is done.
In the case of my church we only baptize in Jesus name but it is not emphasized enough in my opinion.

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."
