From the OP:
There is now even better proof than this though. It was known by the Catholic Church that the Jews had preserved a copy of the original Gospel of Matthew in the Hebrew language. The fact that it exists is proof that God wanted it preserved. There have been many attempts to destroy the credibility of this very valuable Hebrew Gospel, because it is the only existing manuscript that proves
Matthew 28:19 did not originally contain the Trinitarian baptismal formula. Catholics and Protestants have no other reason to cast doubt on the validity of this manuscript. In fact, early writers claim that Matthew wrote his Gospel in Hebrew:
False claim. There are no original manuscripts. They don't exist. What we have are extant copies meticulously preserved by scribes and later canonized. This "this very valuable Hebrew Gospel"
is a polemical treatise written by a Jew in the 14th century, if you bother to read the introduction of your own links:

A complete Hebrew Text of Matthew appeared in the body of a fourteenth century Jewish polemical treatise entitled Even Bohan (JrTO l~, ''The Touchstone"). The author, Shem-Tob ben-Isaac ben-Shaprut (sometimes called Ibn Shaprot), was born in Tudela in Castile in the middle of the fourteenth century. He later settled in Tarazona in Aragon where as a physician he practiced medicine. There he completed the Even Bohan in 1380. He revised his work several times-in 1385, around 1400, and even later-by adding another five books or sections to the original twelve.1 Most manuscripts contain either fifteen or sixteen chapters, not always arranged in the same order. Of the original books, usually the first deals with the principles of the Jewish faith, the next nine deal with passages in the Bible that were disputed by Jews and Christians, the eleventh discusses haggadic sections in the Talmud used by Christians or Jewish proselytes to Christianity, and the twelfth (sometimes thirteenth) contains the entire Gospel of Matthew in Hebrew, with polemical comments by Shem-Tob interspersed throughout the text. Part one of the present volume contains the Hebrew text of Matthew found in Shem-Tob's treatise. A critical apparatus, noting manuscript variation, accompanies the text, and an English translation appears on facing pages. The polemical comments of Shem-Tob have been eliminated so that the gospel text may run continuously from beginning to end without interruption. Part two contains an analysis of Shem-Tob's Hebrew Matthew, including its place within the traditional Hebrew/Aramaic-Matthew tradition, and a literary, textual, and theological profile.
Your "proof" is shaky at best. A Jew in the 14th century is not an authority on the Trinity, since they flatly deny it. The real error we need to examine are the false teachings of Oneness Pentecostalism. Personally, I don't have a problem with "Jesus only" baptism, if it is understood that "Jesus" encompasses His oneness with the Father, and the Person of the Holy Spirit, that should be a given. But is that the case with you? If not, you are left with re-defining who Jesus is. Heretics tried it, and it took 4 centuries and as many councils to straighten out the mess they caused. That's why the full Trinity doctrine proclaimed at the
Council of Chalcedon is so complex, it's because of the heretics. The first recourse that self-proclaimed experts (with fake degrees) have is to reject the Council of Nicae with
LIES about Constantine.
The Nicene Creed is the accepted norm on this forum (at least it used to be). I can't see how anybody can reject this creed and claim to be a Christian at the same time.
