Matt. xxvii. 19, ‘Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them into εις the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the holy spirit.’—On this passage I observe 1. “To be baptized into or in the name, is to be baptized into
the faith or confession, or, in token of one’s faith and of one’s openly confessing.
See Matt. xxvii. 19. Acts ii. 38. viii. 16. x. 48.” 2. He who was appointed
by God as the agent in the Christian dispensation, was, under God, the most
important person in the Christian dispensation. 3. In the preceding verse it is
said, ‘all power is GIVEN To me in heaven and on earth,’ therefore this verse
cannot be justly considered as implying the equality
of the Son with the Father. 4. Baptizing into, or into the name of, a
person is no proof of his divinity, otherwise Moses was God (See 1 Cor. x.2. ‘And
all were baptized into Moses εἰς τὸν Μωϋσῆν in the cloud and in the sea.’ That
to be baptized into any one, and to
be baptized into his name, are
phrases of the same signification, see Rom. vi. 3. Gal. iii. 27, compared with
Acts xix. 5, &c. The passage from Galatians sufficiently indicates the
meaning of the phrase, baptized into
Christ, or, into the name of Christ: ‘For
ye all are sons of God by faith in Christ
Jesus: for as many as were baptized
into Christ, did put on Christ.’) (Lant Carpenter, Unitarianism The Doctrine of the Gospel: A View of the Scriptural
Grounds of Unitarianism [2d ed.; London: Richard Taylor and Co., 1811], 130-31)
