Question 1

What is the significance of the singular form “in the name” as applied to the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in Matthew 28:19?

Answer 1

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost all describe the one God, so the phrase in Matthew 28:19 simply describes the one name of the one God. The NT church understood this to be so, for they baptised in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38, 8:16, 10:48, 19:5; 1 Corinthians 1:13). Acts 4:12 explains that Jesus is the only name through which salvation is possible.
