<p><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'times new roman', times;" data-mce-mark="1">Here is an excerpt from Standford Rives' volume 2 of the <em>Original Gospel of Matthew</em> (2014 version, purchaseable in <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/jwoogm-20">our store</a>) which discusses the reason why a repair is justified to this passage:</span></p>
<p class="Appendix" style="text-align: center; margin: 0pt 0pt 20pt; font-size: 24pt; font-style: italic; color: #000000; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Appendix J: The Trinitarian Baptismal Formula</span></p>
<div style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal;">
<h1 class="Heading1" style="text-indent: 0pt; margin: 14pt 0pt 6pt; font-size: 14pt; color: #000000; vertical-align: baseline; font-family: 'Times New Roman';"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">A Baptismal Formula At Variance With NT</span></h1>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">The&nbsp;Trinitarian Baptismal Formula appears in only one place in the New Testament: in the canonical Greek Matthew at 28:19. The parallel in&nbsp;Mark 16:15 is otherwise identical except it lacks any trinitarian baptismal formula.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">Indeed, every surviving Greek manuscript of Matthew 28:19 has the trinitarian formula. The only non-Greek texts which have a variant that omits it are the Shem-Tob Hebrew Matthew and some old Latin and Syriac texts. Is it possible Matthew 28:19 was fraudulently changed to vindicate trinitarianism because very conveniently every surviving Greek text of Matthew [28:19] dates from 340 AD or later? It clearly could be modified and no one would be the wiser. Only quotes by the church fathers from an earlier time could betray the truth, as indeed seventeen such quotes exist and do so&mdash;each one omitting the trinitarian baptismal formula in their direct quotes from Matthew 28:19.<a href="file:///C:/Users/doug/Dropbox/Writings%20in%20Process/OGM%20Final%20Files/2014%20Final%20Framemaker%20Files/Excerpts/Appendix%20J%20Trinitarian%20Baptismal%20Formula.htm#pgfId-627942" class="footnote">1</a>&nbsp;[See Footnote 1 at end.]</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;">So how strong is the evidence? The consensus of even the most conservative scholars is that the trinitarian formula at Matthew 28:19 was added to the original Matthew at a very late point in time: after the adoption of the trinity doctrine. The book of Acts and Paul&rsquo;s epistles repeatedly show the original baptismal formula was to baptize into only Jesus&rsquo; name. See Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:43; 19:5; Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3; 1 Cor. 1:13-15. The Protestant authority <em>The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge</em> (Funk &amp; Wagnalls, 1908) at 435 agrees that Matthew 28:19&rsquo;s trinity formula is a false addition:</span></p>
<p class="Quote" style="text-indent: 0pt; margin: 7pt 18pt 6pt 43.199997pt; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-623259"></a>Jesus, however, cannot have given His disciples this Trinitarian order of baptism after His resurrection; for the New Testament knows only one baptism in the name of Jesus (Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:43; 19:5; Gal. 3:27; Rom. 6:3; 1 Cor. 1:13-15), which still occurs even in the second and third centuries, while the Trinitarian formula occurs only in Matt. 28:19, and then only again (in the) Didache 7:1 and Justin, Apol. 1:61...Finally, the distinctly liturgical character of the formula...is strange; it was not the way of Jesus to make such formulas... [T]he formal authenticity of Matt. 28:19 must be disputed....</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-623260"></a>An equally important Protestant authority agrees. In <em>The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</em> (ed. James Orr)(1915) Vol. 4 at 2637, under &ldquo;Baptism,&rdquo; it says:</span></p>
<p class="Quote" style="text-indent: 0pt; margin: 7pt 18pt 6pt 43.199997pt; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-597471"></a>Matthew 28:19 in particular only canonizes a later ecclesiastical situation,...and its Trinitarian formula (is) foreign to the mouth of Jesus.</span></p>
<p class="BodyAfterHead" style="text-indent: 36pt; margin: 0pt; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-597502"></a>Even Roman Catholicism&rsquo;s <em>Jerusalem Bible</em> (N.Y.: 1966), a scholarly Catholic work, confesses at page 64 note g:</span></p>
<p class="Quote" style="text-indent: 0pt; margin: 7pt 18pt 6pt 43.199997pt; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><a name="pgfId-597454"></a>It may be that this formula, [<em>i.e</em>., the Trinitarian Baptismal Formula of&nbsp;Matthew 28:19] so far as the fullness of its expression is concerned, is a reflection of the liturgical usage established later in the primitive community. It will be remembered that Acts speaks of baptizing &lsquo;in the name of Jesus,&rsquo;....</span></p>

First,&nbsp;<a name="marker-585568"></a>Acts 19:3-5 teaches: &ldquo;On hearing this, they were baptized <em><strong>into the name of the Lord Jesus</strong></em>.&rdquo; Likewise in&nbsp;<a name="marker-585570"></a>Acts 2:39, Peter teaches: &ldquo;Repent and be baptized, every one of you, <em><strong>in the name of Jesus Christ</strong> </em>for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.&rdquo; In&nbsp;<a name="marker-585571"></a>Acts 8:16 &ldquo;because the Holy Spirit had not yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized<em><strong> into the name of the Lord Jesus</strong></em>.&rdquo; In&nbsp;<a name="marker-585572"></a>Acts 10:48, we read: &ldquo;So he ordered that they be baptized <em><strong>in the name of Jesus Christ</strong></em>.&rdquo; In&nbsp;<a name="marker-585573"></a>Acts 22:16, we read: &ldquo;And now why do you delay? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.&rdquo; Thus, the Greek-Matthew 28:19 has Jesus command use of a trinitarian formula which, if valid, would implausibly mean the apostles and early church <em><strong>disobeyed Jesus</strong></em> and improperly baptized in only Jesus&rsquo; name. Hence, the trinitarian formula is highly doubtful.</span></p>

For Eusebius lived in Caesarea, and Eusebius mentions one Pamphilus as his source for Matthew. Then when we compare that fact against a contemporary writing from Jerome ca 400 AD about the original Hebrew Matthew that "most believe" was written by Matthew, we read that Jerome said it was in the Library at Caesarea, and one Pamphilus had carefully "collected it" -- apparently meaning made well-known extracts from it. These sources below prove these facts. Hence, most likely Eusebius was reading Pamphilus' extract from the Hebrew Matthew written by Apostle Matthew, and hence Matthew 28 originally lacked the trinitarian formula.</span></p>
