Re: Combo baptism in the titles and in Jesus' name

There is a Church of God preacher (well, he's non-denominational now, I guess) that my aunts and cousins used to sit under that has a church not far from where we live. We've been there for family reunions (using their fellowship hall) and my Granny's funeral was held there, primarily because of the location, but specifically because of compromise between my dad and my aunt.

Anyway, this preacher once told my stepmom and I that he had a nephew say to him, "Uncle X we'd come to your church if you'd baptize in Jesus' name." This man, in a beating-around-the-bush kind-of-way, told us there in the hospice lobby where my Granny was passing away that he would never baptize in Jesus' name. This man has a lot of Apostolic people in his family, several of them preachers themselves, so you just know he knows about Oneness and baptism in Jesus' name. The way he spoke led me to believe he had seen it, but chose to reject it. But, as always, I could be wrong.

To add to that, at my Granny's funeral, my pastor spoke on how my Granny had repented, been baptized in Jesus' name, and received the gift of the Holy Ghost whilst having dementia. This aforementioned preacher spoke after my pastor and rolled everything they had said out the window, looking dead at them and saying that only faith in Jesus was a requirement for Heaven.
