| I'm reading a commentary that notes that there is a controversy over whether the Church baptizes in or into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Do you believe the clause is noting by whose authority they are baptized, does it connote the fact that it signifies the union or identity that believer has in the household of faith, or both? |
Inclined to say both, BUT, in, in Historic Liturgy has better support.
(The Liturgical support would be both Eastern and Western By the Bye.)
