This is the ultimate study. No other one out there is this precise. The study is filled with Scripture references and historical facts. The original water baptismal formula, and where the concept of the trinity in water baptism and Godhead is shown according to the originators of this doctrine by their own papers. Excerpt: This study of scriptures was made to help you understand the truth about baptism according to the the infallible word of God. We will be referencing the King James Bible for this study. This study will prove the method of baptism was changed from the use of the words "In the name of Jesus Christ" to the words "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" by many religious sects, even to this day.
First of all, we must understand that the word of God is not to be changed by men, angels, or even "divine revelation" from the spiritual realm. According to Galatians 1:6-9, we find:
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
Also, in the book of Revelation 22:18-19:
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
These scriptures plainly state that the word of God cannot be changed or altered in any form or fashion. In addition, we find that Jesus Himself said in Matthew 5:18:
For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
We also find that neither is the word of God of any private interpretation, as we read in II Peter 1:20-21:
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
 The Bible teaches us that there is only one baptism unto salvation as we read in Ephesians 4:5, "One Lord, one faith, one baptism." We can understand that God is one (1) by the Old Testament as well as by the New Testament. It is necessary to know the one Lord and the one faith in order to know the one baptism. In Deuteronomy 6:4 we read of the one God the Hebrew people knew and worshipped:
Hear, 0 Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
 Also, as we read in Isaiah 45:5:
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me:
Also, as we read in Hosea 13:4:
Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me. 
Nowhere in the scriptures of the Old Testament will you find evidence of a "trinity" God, or God in three (3) persons. Do not misunderstand; we do believe in God the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, but we believe all three are one as found in the book of I John 5:7:
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Now, we know that Jesus is the Word by the scripture in John 1: 1 & 14:
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.
