Some say that Charles Parham used some kind of baptismal formula with Jesus name in it but then Bro. Goss got rebaptized in Jesus name some time after Bro. Parham had baptized him. 1913 is the date used in the book The Phenomenon of Pentecost as the date that baptism in Jesus name began.

There is no place in the Bible where a baptism is recorded and the words of the one doing the baptizing are quoted. References in our New Testament in Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:48 and 19:5 where it speaks of being baptized "in the name of Jesus Christ" or "in the name of the Lord Jesus" or "in the name of the Lord" are understood by some to mean "in the authority of" or "as authorized by" the Lord. Some believe that the words He authorized are the ones recorded as being spoken in Matthew 28:19 to the ones who would later do the baptizing. I personally believe the name "Jesus" and maybe a title or two like "Lord" and/or "Christ" were spoken at baptism but not all Christians see it that way.

If the only baptism which is valid according to the Bible is done with the name "Jesus" vocalized, we really don't have any record of that being done in an unbroken chain for about 1900 years until 1910 or 1913.
I agree Sam. Good points. I don't think historical evidence is a necessary cause, although it can be sufficient cause. We can believe what we want, but the text of Scripture has been preserved for our guidance, learning, growth and sanctification IMHO. This is what we look to...ultimately.
