I wanted to know your perspective on being baptized in the name or into the name of Jesus as found in a number of places in Acts. Was this the original apostolic formula rather than the trinitarian name found in Matthew 28? Which one is normative? Are both legitimate ways of baptizing? I personally have trouble with baptizing in Jesus name today because those who practice this are antitrinitarian (e.g., Oneness Pentecostals). Also could you reccommend any resources that address this area?
with grattitude,
