That SHOULD read "28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
I have given me all power in heaven and in earth" in order to harmonize with oneness theology.

I too wonder about the continued use of words like "spake" if they're doing a modern translation. I know "spake" sounds more religious and maybe rolls off the tongue a little better for the preacher, sounds like God speaking to some, but hey folks, it's 2012!!


Their Gospel of Matthew is closed with this comment....

"While the phrase (the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit) or similar wording does not exist in any other place of the New Testament or early apostolic
documents, for it is without a doubt a later creation."

That can quickly be shown to be error....

Tertullian, c. 200 AD (see here writes in On Baptism, Chapter XIII: "For the law of baptizing has been imposed, and the formula prescribed: "Go," He saith, "teach the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." and in Against Praxeas, chapter 2 says, "After His resurrection ..He commands them to baptize into the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost".

Hippolytus (170-236 AD says in Fragments: Part II.-Dogmatical and Historical.--Against the Heresy of One Noetus, "gave this charge to the disciples after He rose from the dead: Go ye and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

Cyprian (200-258AD) in The Seventh Council of Carthage Under Cyprian says, And again, after His resurrection, sending His apostles, He gave them charge, saying, "All power is given unto me, in heaven and in earth. Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost." and alludes to the same passage in other places as well.

Gregory Thaumaturgus (205-265 AD) in A Sectional Confession of Faith, XIII (see here says, "....the Lord sends forth His disciples to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit?"

Nicely done
