an interesting side note; in the church where I serve on staff (a Charismatic church of about 350 in regular attendance) I do most of the baptizing. When the senior pastor saw me baptize the firsst time he asked me where I learned to baptize like that (I combine Matthew 28:19 and Acts 2:38) then declared that is the way this church will baptize from now on. So, in this otherwise trinitarian church, everyone who has been baptized here over the past four years has been baptized in Jesus name.

Yeah mine too. It's not like there is this huge anti-baptism movement...
Hey that is great about speaking the name at the baptisms. It would be awesome if this caught on with all churches.
