+William Branham basically adopted the baptismal formula of [[Did William Branham Teach Oneness?|Oneness or "Jesus Only"]] Pentecostalism.
+However, in a fundamental departure from the "Jesus Only" baptismal formula, William Branham taught that the only '''true''' form of Christian baptism is in the triune name of the ''Lord Jesus Christ''.  This is an highly important issue for message believers and we are aware of at least one instance where a deacon baptized an individual in the name of the Lord Jesus and was required to baptize the person again in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 Believers of William Branham's message often challenge those outside of the message to "''find one scripture in the Bible in which anyone was ever baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.''"

+The question is whether this is true from a biblical perspective.
