It was Paul, the one being baptized, that was to call on the name... not the baptizer.
So in this regard both Trinitarians and Oneness Christians are wrong, because they sacramentalize baptism instead of making it the moment the believer calls on the name. If you think you're saved by what a man utters over you... you might as well be Catholic. |
I don't believe I said anyone was saved over the words being uttered...Jesus name baptism is what it is...choose your language, sentence structure and adjectives but Jesus is a necessity.
