Even in the modern world, when signing a legal paper... its the authority of the name singed that makes it valid! IF the district attorney were to sign a paper as "From District Attorney" it wouldn't be valid without the name.
Jesus expected his disciples to DO what he said, not repeat it. They had enough sense to understand what he meant when he said "in the NAME" thats why you don't find one place in the Bible where anyone was baptized in titles. There is no power in a Title...
But the Name of Jesus.. which is the only name under Heaven given among men whereby we must be saved, is how everyone was Baptized...
Any way other then that is invalid, powerless, & not obeying the word!

If this child is not baptized in Jesus Name, will that make a difference when the child dies? Do you think this child would even hear you and your Religious squabbling over one word?
