In essence Matthews version of the command was to baptize individuals into the name (Jesus) of the God who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
On another note, the name Lord Jesus Christ actually fulfills the Matthew 28:19 commandment.
Lord-Adonani/Jehovah/Father
Jesus-Son
Christ-Holy Spirit, anointed one

Keith would you see a link between the Aaronic blessing of Numbers and the command for Christian baptism at
Matthew 28? How would you explain that fact that both formulas seem to be summaried in short phrases?
