One is making the claim: "In Matthew 28:19, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (They are to be baptized in “the name” (singular not plural, which is what you would expect if they were all one God)."
Matthew 28:19 - Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Eusebius' earlier quotes of Matthew 28:19 only speak of baptizing in Jesus' name. Thus, some claim that Jesus never spoke the words as we have received them as recorded in Matthew 28:19.
Nevertheless, as found in the extant Greek manuscripts, it still says nothing about the three all being the "one God" from whom are all. (1 Corinthians 8:6) We definitely do not find here (or anywhere else in the Bible) the concept that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Acts 3:13) -- the "one God" from whom are all (1 Corinthians 8:6) -- is three persons. One has to create several assumptions beyond what is written and then add those assumptions to, and read those assumptions into, what is stated in Matthew 28:19 in order to make it appear to be speaking the trinitarian concept of God.
In the Bible the singular is often used in a distributive sense to more than one person or thing. (Genesis 5:2; 48:6; Deuteronomy 7:24; 18:20; Ruth 1:2; Ezra 2:6; Nehemiah 7:63; Psalm 9:5; 77:20; 109:13; Hosea 32:14; Zephaniah 3:19; Revelation 3:1) Such usage in Matthew 28:19 in no sense offers no reason to imagine, assume, add to, and read into this verse the idea that God is more than one person, and God's Son and God's Holy Spirit are persons of the "one God" from whom are all. -- 1 Corinthians 8:6.what is claimed for the trinity dogma, or the oneness dogma.
The Father is obviously the only one whom Jesus is speaking of as being "God" as he spoke in Matthew 27:46 and John 17:1,3. Who is Jesus' God? Isaiah 61:1,2 and Micah 5:4 show that one person to be Jehovah. Hebrews 1:1,2 show that the one person who spoke through the prophets of old is the Father of Jesus. The default reasoning is that Jesus is not Jehovah, his God, who spoke to and through the prophets of old.
