If one-step doctrine is true, does that mean that many people from protestant and catholic denominations are saved?? I sympatize with one-step because many of my family members are trinitarian pentecostals and I hope for their salvation, but my mind still believes that Jesus-name baptism is still needed. I don't mean to rehash salvation doctrine, but I do wish that one-step were true and that many more would be saved.

I am more of a one-stepper than three-stepper. Though for me if you are going to baptize it should be Biblical, in Jesus name. I have no problem with someone that is baptized in titles. If you or I do our job as teacher/pastors then it is quite possible that they will be rebaptized in Jesus name. For me as far as fellowship goes I do not think the formula has a thing to do with fellowshipping. IMO. I may not see totally eye to eye with the doctrine though I will fellowship them anyhow.
