Where there is no clear cut evidence of scribal addition (forgeries) in the Word of God …the reliance of historical writings is considered ….but the final authority has got to be the Word of God. Not with assumptions to enhance ones’ personal belief … that burdens us with something that God strictly forbids for obvious reasons…. as is evident by the multiple denominations that have asserted their private interpretation.
As I stated in the previous post
#117,
Eusebius 260-340 A.D, the Bishop of Caesarea, who is called the father of Church History due to his extensive writings on the subject…. quoted
Matt_28:19 as
in my name” 17 times.
Eusebius is one I lend more credence to…. as he is not rendering a personal opinion as much as quoting what was before him…. But again, the final authority has got to be the Word of God. Opinions are a dime a dozen as noted in the
link below that I found …although there is some validity to a few of them …but opinions none the less.

Matthew 28:19 views
The book of Mark also offers a little insight shortly before Jesus was taken up.
Mar 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mar 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe;
In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Are the words…. Father Son and holy spirit implied in baptism …. I don’t know…. But for me to assume that…. is way beyond my spiritual pay grade.
