It is a DIRECT quotation from the Bible....two of them, in fact.
Come on, Alex, put your thinking cap on.

I agree with earlier poster it is what is in the heart. We have fought over the saying and the exact wordings...but if the person being baptized is not doing it because they believe in their heart that Jesus is the Christ---God come in the flesh---then the baptism is useless, even done in the name of Jesus or Jesus Chirst.
Or even
1. FSG and J,
2. FSG, JC,
3. FSG, J even JC.
And I think that would exclude a lot of folks who are just doing it to obey or other motives than as an response of faith in Jesus being God.
