Baptism in JN is proper because His name was invoked it is biblically and historically supported that the early church baptized invoking the name of Jesus. Paul suggest that baptism was carried out in the name of the person who was crucified for us in 1 Cor 1:13. And of course baptism is an expression of obedience, faith, and identification with Christ. But we go to far to say if certain words aren't spoken in baptism someones sins are not remitted.

The same book of Romans where Paul elaborates on baptism being in HIM not them!?!?
Romans 6.
The same book of Romans that the way to walk in new life is to be baptized in HIM not them!?!?
Romans 6:5.
We clearly disagree but I appreciate the spirit of your post. I am glad you baptize in Jesus' name and I hope and pray you will lean more my direction.
