With baptism you enter into a covenant to take upon yourself the name of Christ and to do those things which Christ would do. The gift of the Holy Ghost is the way that God helps us know His will and what He would have us do. The Holy Ghost guides us in keeping the covenant of baptism.

In the Roman Catholic Church, there are three sacraments of initiation - Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist.
In Baptism, a person joins the family of Christians by being baptized with water in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In Confirmation, a person receives the sacramental gift of the Holy Spirit, who gives us gifts, strengths, and an even stronger connection to God. In Eucharist, we continually partake the sacrifical meal which is spiritual food for the journey.

Baptism saves but the holy ghost keeps you saved. It should be in the name Jesus because the bible tell us there is no other name by which we can be saved and u get the holy ghost when you speak in tongues and possess the fruits of the spirit in your life listed gal. 5:22.
