Introduction: This is the Great Commission by which the resurrected Christ promises and empowers His Church to follow His orders. And by this Great Commission Christ establishes the marks of the true Church, i.e. the essential identifying features: Divinely sanctioned church 1. discipline (from the word to “ make disciples”), 2. The straight preaching of the whole council of the Word of God (all authority…teach all I have commanded you), 3. Faithfully submitting to the Words of institution as the means of grace in baptism and the Lord's Supper (baptizing in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit).
The formula for baptism given here is primarily about who God is and only secondarily concerns who is baptized and how they are baptized.
The doctrine of the Trinity as publicly identified in Christian Baptism is a commanded part of worshipping God and essential to making disciples.
