Hehe. I am calm. I don't have any doubts or fears, I am simply trying to help someone have a full revelation of truth and be able to stand fully on the Scripture. I am not attempting to have an argument. I think that if we are to be honest pupils of the Scripture, then we must look at everything in the full light of the Scripture. If we don't, we will find that whatever doctrine we contrive, it will have holes in it. I am not going to get into any discussion over manuscripts. I get alot of that from people, many times it is in an attempt to boost their 'doctrine' that is being contradicted by Scripture.
When Jesus said in the name of the father, son, and holy ghost, he was verifying with his disciples that HE WAS the Father, the son, and the Holy Ghost. That is why he said THE NAME, not names. When the apostles and paul baptised in Jesus' name, they were following Jesus to the letter. It's just like my dad told me to go to the computer shop and pick up a computer in my name. I wouldn't go to the computer shop and say, "I'm here to pick up a computer in my name." That's merely parroting. I would say, "I'm here to pick up a computer in the name of Joses." The same applies to the Great Commission. To say the father son and holy ghost in baptism is merely repeating what Jesus said, you haven't actually used his name. The disciples understood him and baptised in Jesus' name.
I did read your work, and it was interesting. You quick readily defended against certain wrong doctrines.
Hope you have a great holiday
