The above Scriptures are not given to refute Matt.28:19, where Jesus told Apostles to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. They merely show how the command was interpreted and obeyed by them.
The Apostles knew what the religious leaders fail to recognize. First: that the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the .FAMILY NAME. (Eph.3:15) Second: That FULLNESS of the GODHEAD (Deity or God) dwelleth bodily in Christ. (Col. 2:9) Third: That baptism must be performed in the name of the one crucified. (1Cor. 1:13)*
They knew the name of the Son was Jesus. (Matt. 1:21). They knew that the Son came in the Father’s name.(ST John 5:43). They also knew that the Holy Ghost was the Spirit of Christ and would come in Jesus name. (ST. John 14:26).
The name JESUS means JEHOVAH SALVATION (Fausets Bible Encyclopedia, p. 359)
