**The formula of baptizing in the name of Jesus does not negate the clear teaching of Scripture of the Three Eternal Persons of the Godhead.**

8: ⁵ I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the holy Spirit."
9: It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John.
10: On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. ⁶

And the footnotes:

[8-9] Through the life-giving baptism with the holy Spirit (Mark 1:8), Jesus will create a new people of God. But first he identifies himself with the people of Israel in submitting to John's baptism of repentance and in bearing on their behalf the burden of God's decisive judgment (Mark 1:9; cf Mark 1:4). As in the desert of Sinai, so here in the wilderness of Judea, Israel's sonship with God is to be renewed.

⁶ [10-11] He saw the heavens . . . and the Spirit . . . upon him: indicating divine intervention in fulfillment of promise. Here the descent of the Spirit on Jesus is meant, anointing him for his ministry; cf Isaiah 11:2; 42:1; 61:1; 63:9. A voice . . . with you I am well pleased: God's acknowledgment of Jesus as his unique Son, the object of his love. His approval of Jesus is the assurance that Jesus will fulfill his messianic mission of salvation.
