He made a political-religious pact with an apostate Gnostic group of people that pulled away from the original one God Jesus name Church, which started in Jerusalem. This new split-off group based its teachings upon some Scriptures mixed together with a lot of paganism and warped, non-inspired Platonic philosophies and esoteric theories.

The Bible Almanac 1980, pages 540-541. Under “The Early Church C. Baptism.” “...the early (original) Christians were baptized in Jesus’ Name...”
