In "The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit"...Jesus is referred to as "The Son".
(Jesus is also God and has the Holy Spirit =Holy Trinity)
If you are the one getting baptized, you should wait if you don't fully understand that concept.
Baptism is the public aknowledgement that you understand and embrace the Gospel.
God knows your thoughts and you heart. Do what is right.

Not true, read Matthew 28:19.20, Christ is speaking and He says to baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
Most pentacostals babpize in the name of Jesus only, but according to Christ its to be done in the name of all three.

The proper way is "in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."

Look at the Biblical account. If you can find one baptism that was "in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost", then its correct, if not, then the Apostles did not baptize in that manner.

Well, isn't God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit the same? So, they both say the same thing, no? Hwy, then, should it matter? That is a minor human triviality. It is all in faith! Denying the sacridity of a baptism that was "In the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit" is also denying one "In the name of Jesus"- thusly forgetting that in the Bible, it is said that the Trinity is One....

Both are correct.
In the gospels, it was in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Spirit.
In the book of Acts, the apostles baptized believers in the name of JESUS CHRIST. This name embodies all three, as Christ was Father in Creation, Son in Redemption, and Holy Spirit in Regeneration.
This does not contradict the unity of One Godhead in Three Persons, as all titles can be attributed to all Three yet One, as the Scriptures so faithfully testifies to.

Different Faiths have different words that are spoken, and some, it is the miniter in the Baptistry that chooses them.
If a legalistic faith says it's got to be this way or that way - - bye bye
If you were baptized after accepting as Jesus as your Saviour
and praying the "sinners prayer" ( Lord , Forgive me)
I'll see you in heaven! You are OK !

Jesus commanded that we baptize in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirity.
Matthew 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:
I Cr 13;8a

You can do what you will, as for me, I think I'll stick with Jesus.

father son and the holy spirit is what's normally said because it uses the trinity in it. they are one. saying in the name of jesus is probably just as good though. my pastor adds on buried with him in baptism, risen with him in new life. i think it makes it sound nice...and babies are not baptized, but christened, and only in the catholic church. most americans are protestant.
