  2. Exposition

What does “in the name” mean?

Matthew 28:19 (ESV)

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them inthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

It means that a person by baptism is brought “into an existence that is fundamentally determined by and ruled by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”1
