Sadly, many do not realize that every detailed record of water baptism by the apostles was administered in the name of Jesus Christ. This truth is confirmed in Acts 2:36-42, 8:12-18, 10:43-48, 19:1-7, 22:16. The apostles knew what Jesus meant when He said to use a singular name. (Matt. 28:19) The use of the phrase Father, Son and Holy Ghost, rather than the name of Jesus is nothing more than a tradition begun by the forerunners of the Roman Catholic Church around 325 A.D.
If using the phrase, or the name of the Lord Jesus is optional, why is there not one biblical record of the phrase ever being used? Jesus actually gave the apostles a command that they obeyed; they baptized each and every person in the name of the Lord Jesus. For there is none other name under heaven whereby we MUST be saved. (Acts 4:12)
People do become clean through the word. The word states obedience to water baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus is what remits an individual's sin. This being possible for those who willingly accept the sacrifice of our Lord Jesus Christ. Those who believe the word will act in obedience to what it says and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Many scriptures confirm this truth. Also, the Apostle Paul was informed of this truth as well:
Get up, be baptized and wash your sins away, calling on his name. ' Acts 22:16, ESV: And now why do you wait? Rise and be baptized and wash away your sins, calling on his name.

Why do you suppose there is not one reference to an individual being water baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in the biblical record? According to the word, itself, truth is established by at least 2-3 confirming scriptures. Note the use of the name of the Lord Jesus in Acts 2:36-42, 8:12-18, 10:43-48, 19:1-7, 22:16. Significant?
Is it not also written thatt we should go out into the world and baptize those who come to the Lord in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

In the Old testament we first learn that God is One. In the New Testament Jesus Yeshua repeats this teaching declaring, "I and the Father are One."
If people wish to teach that God is not One, this is their own thinking and not of our Father Who does not lie, nor of His Son Who does not lie. If the Holy Spirit does not attest this truth for you, perhaps were you to think in terms of all the mysteries that are yet to be revealed includes this and simply, as a child, believe what God has taught us, never amending His Word to say He was not being truthful when teaching us that He is One.

God Himself knows! I think it would please God regardless that she WANTED to be baptized the standard way and that she actually got baptized despite set backs anyway. I hope she realizes that and is comforted.
The Bible has set rules for certain things but has shown fair examples of exceptions for those things. I'm thinking about the rule of sons only inheriting their father's land and that one family that had only daughters. They ended up inheriting the land in order to keep it in the family.

The command to be water baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus for remission of sin is a God-given condition for those living in the NT dispensation. Jesus prophesied that repentance and remission of sin would be preached in His name to all nations BEGINNING in Jerusalem. (Luke 24:47) The command to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for remission of sin was initially presented on the Day of Pentecost in Jerusalem just as Jesus said it would. (Acts 2:38)
