I believe it to be undeniable that scripture is giving us the authority to baptize and we baptize in the name of, under the authority of God Almighty. However one says that, or if nothing is said at all, it is the act of baptism that is significant, not the recited words as someone is plunged.
I say, "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; In Jesus' Name", and I do it that way to call upon the fulness of the authority of God, not to make everyone happy.
