During the Nicene era it is said that Marcellus of Ancyra, Photinus, Commodian, Priscillian, and Sabellians practiced Jesus name baptism. The article proposes that during the Medieval era Sebellians, Priscillianists, and other known "heretics" practiced Jesus name baptism. And from the Reformation era forward we see it among the likes of Michael Servetus, Emmanuel Swedenborg, some Anabaptists, other antitrinitarians, and even William Penn and early Quakers practiced Jesus name baptism. Continuing with the likes of John Clowes, John Miller, and New England Congregationalists. All of these leading up to the 20th Century revivals of Jesus name baptism.
Is this historically accurate is my question. Because if it is... that would be very important to analyzing my conclusions of the Gospel in relation to the context of history.

There is no doubt that the name of Jesus Christ was used in baptism, but in the context I stated in my previous post. "By the authority vested in me by our Lord Jesus Christ, I now baptize you in order that your sins may be forgiven".
