The phrase in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit was instituted by Jesus.
It was used before 325AD as I have already shown, first in a quote from a 1st century document, then in a 2nd century document.

As provided previously the word states that in Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) bodily. (Col 2:9) After that statement in verse 9 of Colossions, the scripture goes on to speak of water baptism in verse 12:
"For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. Col 2:10-12
