Why not? To believe that Jesus is the name of God is not something you have to be a Oneness to believe. Trinitarians are monotheistic and believe in one God also.
The scriptures where the formula is noted in Acts say Jesus name or the "name of the Lord" so that is also clear.
That is the reason there is a substantial number of AOG churches that baptize "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, which is Jesus Christ".
When I was in a UPC Bible College thiry years ago they told us that in a survey about 1/3 of AOG churches baptized this way. I don't know if that still holds true.
