Josh,
I think Bro. Steve is referring to Charismatic Pentecostals/AOG/etc, who
baptize in the trinity.  It is their group (which is larger than ours,
numerically I think) that is "officially" defined as "orthodox" Pentecostal
by most other groups.  Apostolic Pentecostals, OTOH, baptize in Jesus'
name.  There is a Trinity Pentecostal Church near my house and also an
Anointed Church of the Living God.  Both believe in Pentecost, but baptize
in the Trinity.  Does that make more sense?
