any discussion about workable formulas places the application of faith in the spirit of the guy ABOVE the water and not the person in the water.
For that reason, I think any discussion of the formula is evidence of a ritual transaction (check the box) RATHER than an individual's following of what they have seen/heard from God's word (faith) that has been provided for them to escape the body of sin.
And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. [ Act 2:21]
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. [ Acts 22:16]
