“Go therefore and make disciples of all, nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” (Matthew 28:19)
The Christian Church holds this verse to be one of the clearest verses that points to God being a trinity (NAB, p. 1062 fn 28.19), primarily because the three names are united under one “name” (not plural).
Although the three are named together under one name, pointing not to a trinity but to the three working together as a team, there is no reason to conclude that the Church’s dogma of the trinity is any the more true.
