YOU:
The question NO ONE (but God) can answer is this:  If a group 
preaches
obedience to Acts 2:38, yet does not believe in the Oneness of God, 
are
they "saved"?

ME:
I asked myself this question many moons ago.  Let me demonstrate my 
conclusion.  
I am goin to start 1st Church of Josh in Christ.
System of Beliefs:
1) The Bible is the infallible word of God
2) The Bible is the only way to seek and find the plan of salvation
3) God is 3 people, equal in power and time
4) To be saved, you must repent, be baptized in Jesus' name, and be 
filled with the Holy Ghost with the initial and universal evidence of 
speaking in tongues.

Now, if I believe that the Bible is infallible and doesn't contradict 
itself, and that all the Acts accounts of baptism coincide with the 
statement of Jesus in Matthew 28:19, then I would believe that 
baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost IS 
baptizing in the NAME of Jesus.  To do this would affirm that either 
God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost were 3 people 
with the same name, or that God (as the Bible DOES teach) is One.  => 
 There...my .08 cents worth!  =>

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)
