You are 100% correct. And no where does it say baptize in the names of God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Ghost, yet I see it done by certain denominations (sects is what the real word is) and its inferring to an extreme level without Biblical evidence of a trinity.
The New Testament says do ALL things in Jesus name.
The trinity concept by the way was formulated by Tertullian around 200 AD and was never, ever taught by Jesus, not by the Apostles and therefore not even a remote teaching in the New Testament Church

And your point is what? There is no place in the Bible where we hear of the formula "Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" used in baptism. Do we have a total accounting of all that were Baptized in the Bible? I think not. I don't even think the Bible, as a matter of fact, I know that the Bible was not written to prove methodology of baptism.
Oh, I forgot, you want Scriptural Proof.
How about Hebrews 6: 1-2? There are a lot of things not mentioned in the Bible. There are things that are written, that you can establish a religion around it. Going back to the study of Hermeneutics; the art and science of Biblical Interpretation, we must ask, why was this passage written in context?
Again, I'll say that the one being baptized is a newborn babe. How does he/she know what is being said?
And just because the Bible does not give an account of it, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Not saying that it did. I agree that if it is in the Word of God, it is important. However, some things do bring about unnecessary debate.
So if you are baptizing in the Name of Jesus, thanks Brother, but let me ask one final question.
Can you show me one place in the Bible where Jesus or an Apostle rebuked someone for Baptizing in the titles, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost? Since you can't, what have we proved today?
I edited this because of the length of my response.

Try Matthew 3:11. This is where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist. Actually the entire chapter of Matthew 3 is very good on this account.

Not sure what point you are trying to make...Baptism in the name of Jesus or the Father or the Holy Spirit is all the same we pary to the father in the name of the son it is the same.God is God Father Son and Holy Ghost

You are equating "buried" and "baptised"?
Baptism does not bury us, or do anything other than provide a visible proclamation of our new faith to the world. Unless you believe that baptism is a requirement of salvation. But even then, I don't see Mat 28:19 being nullified by the abbreviated text in Acts.

well let me put this way Jesus came here to die. for that was his God given mission in life. Jesus said that he had to full fill all that was written about him and then return to where he came from. from all that I read he is either sitting or standing at G-D's right hand . waiting on G-d to tell him to get the worthy ones Jesus gave the disciples permission to baptise more than likely in the name of father son holy spirit

anyone who gets baptized, the preacher says i baptize you in the name of the father, and the son, and the holy spirit. today, the apostles are leaders of the church,preacher, ministers,preists,etc. go to church, bible study you should be asking them these questions,and unless you are a beliver in the FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT,any one can lead you astray.

Are you saying that all disregard what Jesus said? Are people to be baptized and disregard John 3:16; For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that wo so ever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Where does Jesus say [FORGET ABOUT MY FATHER]???
Most all them were learned people, most they dealt with knew who The LORD God
of David was Matt.22:42-35; and Jesus was the Lord they had to learn about and believe in.
From KJV Bible 1611 to the world, who do they think the Father is, who do they think the son is and who or what do they think the Holy Ghost is?
It says, Matt.28:18-20; All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach.
To teach is to examine what is said. Who gave Jesus power to be over heaven and earth? Is Jesus Father God? Is Jesus Son God? Teach them to observe all things...
Matt.22:37-40; The first and great commandment.
Who is loved with with all the heart, with all thy soul and with all thy mind. Is it LORD God and Father as Jesus said, John 20:17; or David at Matt.22:42-45; and Jesus is Lord, or as Jesus said John 17:3,5,24; The God he was with before the world was? This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
John 17:1-26; The name Jesus was giving them, that was his Father name, what was it?
Rev.14:1-7; Having his Father's name [what is the name of the Father of Jesus], it is written in their foreheads. 1Cor.15:22-28,51-53; After all has been saved by Jesus , the God is all in all. Isa.9:8.7[The LORD God of host has his Son in power]; Heb.1:1-13[Let all the angels of God worship his Son that has been put in power to save all];
SO WHO IS THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT? Go ye therefore and teach.
John 6:39,40,44; 1Thes.4:15-17[Raised up at the last day]; John 3:13-17[No man gone to heaven by Jesus who came down, to be at right hand of God, to Rev.12:7-12];
Gen.21:33; 22:14[Abraham and LORD God of Jesus, by name];
Exo.6:3; 17:15[ Moses and LORD God of Jesus, by name];
Judges 6:24[Gideon and LORD God of Jesus, by name];
Psm.68:4; 83:18[David and LORD God of Jesus, by name};
Isa.12:2; 24:4[Isaiah and LORD God of Jesus, by name];
By two or three witnesses as Matther, Mark, Luke and John.
John 17:1-26; Rev.14:1-6,7[Zion heirs and Lord God of Jesus
oneness, unity, and in harmony with the will of the LORD
God of Jesus Holy Spirit joined, to pass into God's kingdom];
Rev.3:12[Zion heirs and Jesus new name before his God];
Rev.14:1-7[Redeemed from earth to zion];
John 17:1-26; How can it be a title, if you know all the facts?
Jesus says they are one, he says make all that are to be his, one as they are one.
