We quote Matt. 28:19 and then say, "as was fulfilled in the book of Acts, I now baptize you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ." We get the criticism for quoting Matt. 28:19 first.

HELLO?????? It's Bible.

I don't see a problem with that. Who criticizes you?

Lots of people on here in the past. Also on FCF, NFCF, etc. I just don't get it. They say we are compromising by quoting Matt. 28:19, just to side with trinitarians. Blows my mind - it's the words of Jesus about baptism!

I was always amazed at this being criticized. I simply say "in the name of Jesus Christ," but I see no error in your invocation. It's like the critics have lost the whole point of the name in baptism, and are getting too narrow minded by insisting on putting it in the face of trinitarians as much as they can, unreasonably so, by not saying the titles in any manner whatsoever. Baptism is more a chance to put it in the face of people rather than accomplish what baptism is for.
