Ok, We are doing good here. You believe that Jesus name baptism is the correct biblical way to be baptized, and you believe that one must continue in God as best as they know how.
Now, is water baptism a principle doctrine that pretty much every denomination accepts needs to be accomplished by a new convert?
Yes, as it is a witness of the salvation wrought about in that converts life. I believe this as well, but I also believe in grace and mercy, which says that God saves us by grace through faith.

Maybe in the land of The Ever Changing Price, that kind of answer flies.
Bill those who you know, are not those who matter. They only consist of how many people who are Trinitarian?
Bill PP, is correct, it is you who are wrong.
Documents of Faith for any Trinitarian believer consists of three persons who are coequal and coeternal. A unified three working as a unified one. Not the literal number one.
Bill are you confused or what?
No Elder, I am not confused, but to condemn all trinitarian believers to Hell on the basis of documents that 99.9% have not read and have no idea what they say is simply taking the place of God as judge. No, Elder, I am not confuse, and with respect with all, any man who believe they have God figured out totally is sadly mistaken. oneness is as close as my studies have brought me, but that is just me.
I believe that as a person has understanding and walks in said understanding, that person is continuing in God as best as they know how.

three persons. Duh I just told you the doctrine of the Trinity says there is one God in number that is three in PERSON
Prax,
I am sure you know that the trinitarian doctrine falls apart when you look at it closely.
One God
3 persons
All Co-equal
all co-eternal
Sorry, but they can say One God all day, but they split that One God into 3 persons, and make them co-eternal. They say co-equal, but then you have Jesus Praying to God the Father, and the Holy Ghost testifying of God the Son. They have a carnal understanding at best of what the bible says. The difference between Oneness and trinity is Revelation, and that happens when folks let the holy ghost lead them into all truth.
No Elder, and the evidence is the work Christ has done in me to straighten me out, and make me see my numerous errors, sins, and shortcomings. I stand as a dying man amongst dying men, preaching and believing the living God who saved me many years ago in a Baptist church, and has brought me through many hardships, many of my own handiwork, to a place where I do not need to know religion to know Him, but have come to know Him.
He will carry me, has carried me, and continues now to carry me. I am nothing, but He is my all in all. Hallelujah!
Sorry Elder, but the proposition I asked is one which demands an answer. If Oneness is the only valid and true faith, then all others are in sin and are condemned. If so, why is it that God is pouring out of His Spirit, according to His Word? Does God dwell with sin.
Why did God use pagan kings and call one of them His messiah?

Sorry Bill that is not true. Because if you had elders you would have to consider their council. You don't listen to anyone or anything. No one can tell you anything. You do as you very well please.
