Baptism in the Great Commission Matthew 28:19 Excerpt Jesus’ Resurrection Command to Baptize  Here we find the true basis of the church’s practice ( Mt 28:19 ). As already stated, the disciples stopped employing it, so it is here that we see the institution reconstituted as an ordinance based on the death and resurrection of Christ. It was no longer a forward-looking phenomenon but had now become a realized activity centering on the gospel message, certified by the risen Christ who is exalted to universal lordship. It also is an essential aspect of the discipling activity, as seen in the use of the participle “baptizing” after the main verb “make disciples.” Finally we might note that the act signifies the entrance of the believer “into” union with ( literally “into the name of” ) the triune Godhead.  More Elwell, Walter A., and Philip Wesley Comfort.  Tyndale Bible  Dictionary  2001 : 145.
