You see that's just it, it is not OUR formula it is what was found in the book.
No one was ever baptized in the book of Acts Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, all was done in the name of Jesus. The Apostolic movement didn't make up
Acts 2:38, they were the ones who squeezed through the strait gate, while the Trinitarians were blasting them and saying they were wrong. The Bible isn't suppose to be Russian Roulette.

Jesus said the wind blows were it listeth and you hear the sound. Meaning the Holy Ghost goes where it wants, and you hear the voice of the Holy Ghost. Jesus then went on to say that in everyone who is born again you would hear that voice of the Holy Ghost. Sister, again, Jesus was the one who said it was a narrow way, with a strait gate. That is as plain as
Acts 2:38. God gives the Holy Ghost to those who obey Him. It seems that there are far more of those who disobey, than those who obey.

Sister, think of how many Roman Catholics there are, or how many Muslims are out there. They also don't see things that are written in the scriptures.
I'm NOT aligning you with those groups, but I must say that you just need to see that there is only one way, and it doesn't have tributaries flowing out from that way. Wouldn't it be horrible to devout our lives to the work of God, to only find out that we weren't doing His work at all? You may want to place that on me, and say what if your wrong. Sister, some things are far too plain in the Bible, and JESUS NAME baptism and in filling of the Holy Ghost with tongues are it.

Then if you have a revelation that the bridge is out then you have a responsibility to strongly warn those who are speeding towards the washed out crossing. Without fear or favor.

Sis, you are teaching these people things that you are saying are required. Then if they are required of those under you, they are also required of all those on the planet where you reside. It is that simple. Reason you are in five states correct? Reason you are in Africa correct? If it is required then it must be obeyed.

Well, it is not as hard as you say, because He will still REQUIRE the blood of all those we failed to warn.
The lake of fire burns day and night forever and ever, and hell is thrown into it. Places like that I need to avoid.
