I have family members that are modelist and they believe that I am not saved. They say that I must be baptized in "Jesus name" to receive the Holy Ghost.
If you have been immersed in the hope of God saving other people, you have been baptized in Jesus
name.
Even if you've never heard of him, or he's not in your people's "religion"
( I don't like calling the Holy Spirit , the Holy Ghost , God is not a spook. ) any way, have you come across this? They believe that Jesus is the father , son , and the spirit. My arguement to them is, if Jesus is father son and spirit, then baptizing in the name of the father son and spirit , are you not baptizing in Jesus name ? I don't get it. They don't believe in the trinity though it is clearly taught in scripture.
God is not a spook or ghost, but many people hold Him in no more esteem.
It's one name for all three, "Salvation"
If Christ is risen in you, and you receive the Holy Spirit, you are also the trinity. He is "Lord of
hosts" and you, the temple, are supposed to be the host.
They are hung up on clothes worn , and seem to make up rules like the Pharisees. Also they say the only proof you are saved is speaking in tongues. Tongues is not even mentioned in Galatians as a fruit of the spirit. I would like to hear some of your comments on this.
They are washing their clothes in their own blood, or the blood of others, not the blood of the Lamb.
Here is an example of speaking in tongues
"And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals."
because no matter what language you translate, speak or read in, you can always understand or have an interpreter of tongues explain that the very book the reader has in front of him, is a complete parable in "tongues" with underlying meaning, sealed up.
