Acts 9:18 states that Paul was baptized although it does not say if it was specifically as prescribed in Mat 28:19.

In Acts 19 it is pretty clear that a Trinitarian formula was in use among the Gentile churches.
It records Paul meeting 'certain disciples' and asking them: "Have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?"
These men responded "Holy Ghost? We've never even heard of the 'Holy Ghost'!"
Paul is practically incredulous, and immediately asks: "What? How were you baptized then?" Clearly Paul intimates that if these men had been Baptized CORRECTLY, they would have HEARD of the Holy Ghost. This is a powerful indicator that the Church was obedient to Jesus' EXACT COMMAND: "Baptize them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
I hope you have had a Christian Baptism.

Some people can't figure that out even when you hit them between the eyes with it.
