We never say, "I baptize you in the name of the F, S, and HG".
Just wanted to clear that up, since it's such a volatile issue on here. We always baptize in Jesus' name.

Sherri: anybody who wants to nit pick over the what you say in your batismal services..has just got to much idle time on their hands. They should go out into all the world...and find a life.

Good greif...talk about staining a gnat!

This is very, very good. It is very accurate. This is way I would baptize someone were I doing so. That is a great way to put it!

I knew a guy once in the Assembly of God that I accually went to the Apostolic School with that when he and his pastors/leaders always said, "Upon your confession of faith in the Savior I baptize you in the name of the F,S,and HG which is the name of Jesus Chricst for the remission...." I think that this is sufficient too, but Sherri's way is perfectly done.

I can just see it now......Sherri traveling with her tent holding revivals and baptizing "Sherri's Way"

Just a compromize hoping to muddy the waters.

Of course you'll get criticized for that.
We OP's just love to criticize one another.

Some of us say that the Father's name is Lord, the Son's name is Jesus, and the Holy Ghost's name is Christ so the real and only name of God is "Lord Jesus Christ" --no more and no less. Others say if you say the 3 words, "Lord Jesus Christ" you might just as well use the FS&HG words. Some say the name of God is "Jesus Christ" --no more and no less, so don't you dare add that word "Lord" to that or don't you dare leave off "Christ." Others think we have to try to find out what His Mama called Him when He was a little boy and we have to say it, spell it, and pronounce it just like she did or it's not valid for baptism.

There are OP's that demand rebaptism if the word "Lord" was used and some who demand rebaptism if the word "Lord" was not used.

Can anyone spell



















COMPROMISE?

I'll never understand this mindset! How can using the scriptures the Bible uses about baptism be a compromise? What's wrong with quoting what Jesus said Himself about baptism and then explaining how it was fulfilled by the apostles?

[Scott Hutchinson]

Would I be compromising if I baptized somebody and said I baptize you in The Name Of Jesus The Christ upon your repentance ?

Me thinks explaining what is being done is not the intent those I have known doing this(I don't know y'all) were muddying the waters trying somehow to have it both ways. Thus a compromise.
