Actually, there is no place in the NT where the words used in baptism are recorded. In other words, there is no place where a baptism is recorded and it is recorded that the one baptizing says, "I baptize you in the name of......."
Acts 15:17 speaks of people "upon whom my name is called"
and
James 2:7 speaks of a name which has been called over us or invoked over us.
James 2:7 in the Amplified Bible reads as follows: "Is it not they who slander and blaspheme that precious name by which you are distinguished and called [the name of Christ invoked in baptism]?"
Youngs Literal Translation says:"do they not themselves speak evil of the good name that was called upon you?"
Darby reads: "And [do not] they blaspheme the excellent name which has been called upon you?"
