Granted this may come across as blasphemy in some circles.
What is said over the candidate is not paramount.
In baptism "in the name of" means by whose authority.
What most don't take into account is that the candidate and baptizer don't just magically appear in the water together with no interaction beforehand.
The candidate has had a previous communication and repented, declared Jesus Christ as their Lord, determined to follow Him in all things, and wish to be identified with the body of believers.
If this has not happened prior to baptism, then it really doesn't matter if anything is said in the water the person is just getting wet.
