No, it isn't. You infer that it is, but it is not.
Yes, it is. Baptism in the name of Someone is baptism into the one who was named.

Does not say "baptize in the name of Jesus."
It says that baptism is into the one who was crucified for us, which is Jesus Christ.

Does not say "baptize in the name of Jesus." Does not even say "baptize", for pity's sakes.
Since baptism is for the remission of sins, saying remission of sins in my name, is the same as saying baptize in Jesus name.

And speaking of inferring... Have you found that "God is three persons" verse yet

Then the trinity is an invention of man. It is man telling God who He is, not God telling man who He is.

It is a description of something that exists, it is not telling God anything.
If your statement is an accurate depiction of your standards, then it stands to reason that you believe the Bible is "an invention of man" and shouldn't be trusted, either.

For thousands of years, God has only called Himself one God
It looks to me that this doctrine is man made, not coming from God.

I've already explained that Scripture in previous posts.

I'll share the verses, how many times is the third person
of the Blessed Trinity mentioned of in the Gospel?
Originally posted by colbe
I checked, Holy Ghost is referred to 151 times in the Gospel.

I do not deny the Holy Spirit. I just deny that He is a separate god number three.

Trinitarians also deny that "He is a separate god number three", so whom are you disagreeing with?

That is only due to your brainwashing that three gods equal one.

Brainwashing, right. I'm not the one who thinks watching a baseball game means that you hate Gary Reckart.

I've said it before, I'll say it again -- the fact that you don't understand the Doctrine of the Trinity doesn't invalidate it.

I'll take the word of the Church Fathers over uneducated hillbilly pastors who think wristwatches and televisions are evil, thank you very much.

I do not think that.

I understand the doctrine very well. When you say that Genesis 1:26 is proof of more than one creator, you are teaching polytheism.
The early Christians did not teach "God is three gods".
We do not teach that wristwatches and televisions are evil, but that there are spiritual issues connected with them that are to be avoided.
What possible "spiritual issue" could come from wearing a wristwatch?

IF you miss church, and you're wearing a watch... you had no excuse?
Originally posted by adjensen
Sorry, since Reckart thinks that watching a baseball game means that you hate him, and since you've testified over and over to how much you respect this "good man", I figured you agreed with him.
Originally posted by adjensen
There is only one God, so I am not teaching polytheism, even if I had said that Genesis 1:26 was proof of more than one creator, which I did not.
Originally posted by adjensen
Of course they didn't, and neither do Trinitarians today. You apparently don't understand that simple concept -- I would suggest studying scripture and theology, as opposed to listening to the rants of an elitist hater.

You are taking his words out of context. It is not that "watching a baseball game" means that you hate him as you claim, but that he has received hate mail from those who watch tv due to his preaching against it.
Below is a partial list of those who hate Pastor Reckart:
Those who believe it is OK to attend professional sports;
Those who have television in their homes; (Source)

You did say that. Your teaching is polytheistic, you are only brainwashed to believe that it is not.

Pride would be one.
