Not Just The "Other" Pentecostals

Sister Anneliese:
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?

ME:
I understood it...I just thought that saying that Trinitarian 
Pentecostals/Charasmatics baptize according to the formula laid out 
in Matt 28:19 was unfair to the Bible.  Becuase, in all actuality, 
the formula (When solved...thanks brother Robert) is equal to the 
formula presented in Acts 2:38.  If a person is baptized in the name 
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, he is baptized in the 
name of Jesus.  But, if a person is baptized in the titles given to 2-
3 persons (depending on who you ask) persons in the Trinity, he is 
not baptized according to any type of baptism presented in the Bible. 
 "One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism"  ;-)  Thanks for trying to clear 
the muddy waters...

I affirm the biblical foundation for a relationship with God: We are 
to turn away from doing wrong, be baptized in the name of Jesus in 
accordance with scriptural examples, receive the marvelous gift of 
the Holy Spirit, and embrace a daily walk with Him. (See Acts 2:38)
