I was baptized in the name of Jesus, by a US Air Force Southern Baptist chaplain, (Major) in the swimming pool, at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Vietnam, in 1970. I guess I must be screwed.

Southern Baptists baptize in the name of Jesus only? Odd.

In any case, yes, if it was in Jesus's name only that was invalid. The good news is that you are still alive, and you can get that fixed pronto.

Actually, the truth is, it was 48 years ago. I can’t remember what the Chaplain said, but I think I will be ok. I know he meant well, and was very sincere. 😇

It was addressed in the local churches.

“That baptism was not biblical, but we are proud of our students for winning the lost. The new believer will need to be baptized biblically in church.”(She eventually was, as I recall.)

We students talked it over during lunch and in our dorm rooms. The general thought among the freshmen was that it seemed pretty biblical, and pretty sincere, but you can’t buck authority.
