evidence we have on actual Christian baptism indicates a consistent monadic formula-baptism in Jesus’ name...”
The Conclusion of Matthew by Dr. Hans Kosmala 1965 Chapter five: “It is, therefore, not surprising that in the early stages of the spreading of the gospel we find only the expression το όνομα 'Ιησου̃ (or with the prepositions διά, είς, έν, ένεχεν, έπί) in all vital connections. The following list is by no means complete: The name of Jesus is spread abroad (Mk. 6:16); Christ is being preached where his name is not named (Rom. 15:19f.); one cannot name his name unless one departs from iniquity (2 Tim. 2:19); the apostles speak, preach, and teach in his name (Acts 4:17f.; 5:28, 40; 9:27, 29) or about his name (8:12); one prays (John 14:13, 14; 16:23, 24, 26), one thanks God in his name (Eph. 5:29; Col. 3:17), one calls upon his name (Acts 9:15; 1 Cor. 1:2); one drives out evil spirits (Mk. 9:28; 16:17; Luke 10:17; Acts 16:18), heals diseases (Acts 3:6, 16; 4:7, 10), and does signs and wonders in his name (4:30); one gives judgment in his name (1 Cor. 5:3-5) and exhorts by his name (1 Cor. 1:10); one suffers, is reproached, and hazards one's life for his name (Acts 5:41; 9:14,1 16; 15,26; 1 Peter 4:14); one must believe in his name (John 1:12; 2:23; 3:18; 1 John 3:23; 5:13; Acts 19:13); his name must be magnified (19:17) and glorified in us (2 Thes. 1:12), every knee should bow at his name (Phil. 2:10), for his name is above every name (2:9). In fact, everything one does in word and deed should be done in his name (Col. 3:17; c.f.e.g. Mk. 9:41). It goes without saying that one has remission of sins through his name (Luke 24:47; Acts 10:43; 1 John 2:12), is justified in his name (1 Cor. 6:11) and has life through his name (John 20:31); there is no other name whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Naturally, in those (early Bible Church) times, baptism was also performed in the name of Jesus Christ (see above IV).”
Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics Edited by James Hastings Edinburgh 1909 page 384 Under Early Christian Baptism ii Method of Baptism; “The (baptism) formula used was ‘in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ’ or some synonymous phrase: there is no evidence for the use of the triune name.”
We see that the emperor is shown on a horse at left in the first circle. Then he is clearly shown worshiping an idol god or image of Apollo his sun deity in the second circle. If Constantine were a true “Christian” he would not have left favorable records of idol worship, or continued to worship false idol gods. No sincere person with integrity will submit to such teachings, or follow after a murderer, lunatic and idolater.
