Why Can't Apostolic's call their Church Baptist?

The term "Bapticostal" was a derogatory term used to describe my home church during the last several years that my former pastor was there.

The book of Act's and Romans is full of Baptism teaching.
One Lord, one faith, one Baptism.

Baptist is a denomination that does not teach baptism is essential for salvation, does not teach baptism is to be done in Jesus name, does not believe in speaking in tongues let alone the necessity as a sign of the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Many believe in once saved always saved and that salvation is by accepting the Lord as your savior.

To say you are a baptist and to believe all of the above is false advertisement

I knew someone that used to be UPC and he called himself and his church Bapticostal, not as a slur but as a denomination

Baptist is actually several denominations that are wide-ranging in their beliefs.

But not all Pentecostal are oneness or even holiness.
But why not use the Baptist in the name.
Like "Amarillo Baptist of Pentecost "
Or "Apostolic Baptist Fellowship"
....
I would like to see a Church that is Assembly of God Type with Oneness And Acts 2:38.
...
But to say we believe in the Baptism of the Spirit and Jesus Name baptism..
Would truly be Baptist.
Who knows it could be away to bring in folks from the Baptist up-bringing that desire an Acts experience.

I was just responding to what YOU wrote....you are the one that included the subject of being apostolic and being called baptist

Apostolic's teach The Baptism of the HG. And Jesus name Baptism.

And my point again is Baptist theology does not include any of those things. Sure there are those that call themselves baptist and believe in tongues, but even they are more charismatic...believing tongues is not THE evidence of the baptism of the Holy Ghost NOR that the baptism of the Holy Ghost with tongues is essential.

Anybody can call themselves by any moniker...it doesn't necessarily make them one.

Baptist do not believe in baptism in Jesus name nor that baptism is essential.
