Actually, yes. It could. Much plainer. God could have given only one "formula" in His Word, instead of two.

i think what they are trying to say is which formula .. i truly believe that acts 2v38 is the correct formula. its all in the Name Of Jesus.

[brodano]

oneness groups use in the name of Jesus . and trinitarians use matt 28V19.

Which formula did the apostles use?
Therein lies the answer to your question.

Do it the way the apostles did and you'll be fine.

If it wasn't for the witness of scripture and history, I'd think that I would use the titles. But I would never do so, because I am firmly convinced of this truth.

"One Lord" - Jesus Christ
"One Faith" - in Jesus Christ
"One Baptism" - in the name of Jesus Christ

The only name given whereby men are saved: JESUS CHRIST.

Someone does there's another way, let them; I have no condemnation for them. But I love the name of Jesus.

Do it the way Jesus said to and you'll be fine.

they both are correct they both mean the same thing matt 28:19 says in the name of the father, the son and the holyghost......which the apostles including matthew knew that name was jesus...father son holyghost are titles not names.
