1Cr 1:13 Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
1Cr 1:14 I thank God that I baptized none of you, but Crispus and Gaius;
1Cr 1:15 Lest any should say that I had baptized in mine own name.
I find it sad that you would have such contention over using Jesus' name for baptism.

Apparently, the phrase I of Christ means nothing to you. We are baptized into Christ ... His salvation ... not Paul's or Apollos' or Cephas'.
