Baptized Into (eiv eis )?In the name ( )Rev., correctly, "into the name." Baptizing into the name has a twofold meaning. 1. Unto, denoting object or purpose, as , unto repentance (Matthew 3:11); , for the remission of sins (Acts 2:38). 2. Into, denoting union or communion with, as Romans 6:3, "baptized into Christ Jesus; into his death;" i.e., we are brought by baptism into fellowship with his death. Baptizing into the name of the Holy Trinity implies a spiritual and mystical union with him. E, into, is the preposition commonly used with baptize. See Acts 8:16; 19:3, 5; 1 Corinthians 1:13, 15; 10:2; Galatians 3:27. Vincent's Word Studies in the New Testament89

Baptized Into (eiv eis )?In the name ( )In Acts 2:38, however, Peter says, "Be baptized upon () the name of Jesus Christ; and in Acts 10:48, he commands Cornelius and his friends to be baptized in () the name of the Lord . . . The name, as in the Lord's Prayer ("Hallowed be thy name"), is the expression of the sum total of the divine Being: not his designation as God or Lord, but the formula in which all his attributes and characteristics are summed up. It is equivalent to his person . . . When one is baptized into the name of the Trinity, he professes to acknowledge and appropriate God in all that he is and in all that he does for man . . .

14Acts 2:22-36 (NKJV) 32 This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. 34 For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself: 'The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand, 35 Till I make Your enemies Your footstool."
