I never said that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost weren't distinct from one another.
But I think that you misunderstand my terminology when I say to you that Jesus is the Father come in human flesh. Nevertheless the terminology is biblical.
Baptism in Jesus' Name (poll).

Being baptized in water is a teaching of Jesus, so it is necessary; but, it is not a substitute for the born-again experience when one receives a new heart and a new spirit from above, circumcision of the heart.
Is not the circumcision of the heart accomplished at baptism, according to Colossians 2:11-12?
That's not the way I read it. Circumcision first and then baptism to reflect what's already occurred.
I think baptism is a similar thing to circumcision - specially for the first people to undergo this procedure. It is a sign - even if it's only to ourselves - that we belong to God.
Yes, indeed, @Pearl...
Baptism is one way of identifying with and confessing the Lord Jesus Christ before men (see Matthew 10:32).
