*FORM OF GOD*

- All three are in Unity 

   *baptize in the name(singular) of Father, Son and Holy Spirit "(plural).

Matthew 28:19-20

*Therefore* shows that the Great Commission rests on the authority of Christ. Because He has authority overall, everyone needs to hear His gospel. While verses 18-20 are commonly known as the Great Commission, they should not be thought of as the first call for world evangelism (Genesis 12:1-3) for God's command that Abraham and his descendants should be a blessing to all nations.

*make disciples:* Making disciples involves three steps: going, baptizing and teaching. It was assumed that when a person trusted in the Lord Jesus, he or she would be baptized.

The word *name* is singular, although it is the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit together. This verse is another indication that God is One in three Persons.

Genesis 1:26 *Let Us make* emphasizes the majesty of the speaker. Furthermore, the use of a plural for God allows for the later revelation of the Trinity. Genesis 11:7 Matthew 28:19 The *Us* cannot refer to the angels that are present with God because man is made in the image of God alone, not also that of the angels. *in Our image*: What is the image of God in man? The traditional view is that God's image is certain moral, ethical and intellectual abilities. A more recent view, based on Hebrew grammar and the knowledge of the ancient Middle East, interprets the phrase as meaning "Let us make man as our image" (the Hebrew preposition in this phrase can be translated as). In ancient times an emperor might command statues of himself to be placed i...
