Re: Are Trinitarians Saved?
We Apostolics don't even agree among ourselves on what to say during the baptism ritual. Apostolics have been known to rebaptize a person "in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ" if the words "Lord" or "Christ" were not mentioned at the first baptism.
Some OP's say:
The name of the Father is Lord
the name of the Son is Jesus
the name of the Holy Ghost is Christ
so our three in one God
has a three in one name.
His full name is "Lord Jesus Christ."
Others say the name of His humanity is Jesus
the name of His deity is Jesus
so His full name is Jesus Christ.
Others insist baptism must be done using the name "Yeshua" because the English word "Jesus" is paganism.
Others use a combination formula like
"In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost"
or
"I baptize you in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost in Jesus' name"
or
"I baptize you in the name of Jesus which is the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost."
etc. etc.
I guess whenever you go to a new oneness church or get a new pastor you need to find out what he or she believes and then get baptized according to that particular pet formula just to be safe.
