Moving right along, here is a quote from Chapter 3 of my book, Calling on the Name of Jesus.
Chapter 3, The Great Commission
pg. 47-48
The internal evidence of both Matthew 28:19 and Luke 24:47 shows that these are parallel or synonymous passages. Matthew 28:19 declares that the Apostles were to teach all nations. Luke 24:47 records this as preach … among all nations. The phrase remission of sins in Luke 24:47 is equal to baptizing them in Matthew 28:19. Therefore the phrase in His name, in Luke 24:47, is synonymous or parallel with the phrase in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost used in Matthew 28:19.
[CHART]
Matthew 28:19 and Luke 24:47 are identical passages. This is one commission recorded by two different authors. They are synonymous verses. As, the no-formula proponent states, “These are different accounts of the same thing.” To deny this is to deny plain Bible hermeneutics. Thus, the phrase in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost is synonymous with the phrase in His Name. This is why the book of Acts church obeyed the command of Matthew 28:19 & Luke 24:47 by baptizing “in the name of Jesus Christ.” The phrase in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost describes the one Name; His Name i.e. the name of Jesus. Jesus is the name of the Father. Jesus is the name of the Son. Jesus is the name of the Holy Ghost.
