A burial is not placing a corpse on top of the ground and sprinkling a little soil on it, but it is placing it in the ground. In the early centuries, all were baptized by immersion in streams, pools, and baptisteries. Baptism is typical of his burial. Corning forth from the watery grave of baptism is typical of His resurrection. He did not command them to use that as a formula, but commanded them to baptize in the name.
Name here is used in the singular and is the object of the commission.
This Name is above every name under heaven. And the every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, to the glory of God the Father. Here we see another baptism instituted, the baptism of the Holy Ghost. As Nicodemus came to Jesus by night, Jesus told him the only way to be born. Nicodemus did not understand as many of our leaders don t understand in this day and time, the plan of Salvation.
