-Removed-To baptize in the name Jesus or Yahshua is to baptize according to His authority, which is the same as baptizing in the name or authority of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is just as good.
Notice that in Acts 10:48 that the baptism was in the name of the Lord. So using the name Jesus only is not a formula for baptizing. As the apostle Paul said,
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
(1 Corinthians 12:13 NASB)

-Removed-
And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
(Acts 10:48 KJV)
Even if you take your version, then Jesus Christ is not the name Jesus only. Actually the apostles never even heard of the name Jesus or Jehovah. So that is nonsense to say one must use the name "Jesus" only to be baptized. Jesus is just the way Yahshua is translated today.

What did Jesus say?
-Removed-But we are not restricted to baptizing in the name of the Son only. We can also baptize is the name of the Holy Spirit or the name of the Father ot the name of the Lord, or the name of Christ, or the name of Yahshua, or the name of Yah, or the name of the triune God. Do you see that? 😏

Show ME scientific evidence that baptizing does ANYTHING besides making people wet.
