The form of the Lord's Name appearing in verse nineteen of the [[Great Commission]], Matthew 28:16-20, has also historically been spoken during Christian baptism, Trinitarian Christians believing the three distinct, albeit co-inherent, persons of the Holy Trinity received witness by Jesus' baptism. Many modalists do not use this form as the Lord's Name. It is also suggested by some modern Oneness Pentecostal critics, that Matthew 28:19 is not part of the original text, because [[Eusebius]] of Caesarea quoted it by saying "In my name", and in that source there was no mention of baptism in the verse. Eusebius did, however, quote the "trinitarian" formula in his later writings. (Conybeare (''Hibbert Journal'' i (1902-3), page 102). Matthew 28:19 is quoted also in the [[Didache]] (Didache 7:1), which dates to the late 1st Century or early 2nd Century) and in the [[Diatesseron]] (Diatesseron 55:5-7), which dates to the mid 2nd Century harmony of the Synoptic Gospels. The ''Shem-Tob's Hebrew Gospel of Matthew'' (George Howard), written during the 14th century, also has no reference of baptism or a "trinitarian" formula in Matthew 28:19. However, it is also true that no Greek manuscript of the Gospel of Matthew has ever been found which does not contain Matthew 28:19. The earliest extant copies of Matthew's Gospel date to the 3rd Century, and they contain Matthew 28:19. Therefore, scholars generally agree that Matthew 28:19 is likely part of the original Gospel of Matthew, though a minority disputes this.
In passages of scripture such as Matthew 3:16-17 where the
Oneness Pentecostals and other [[modalism|modalists]] are regarded by Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox, and most other mainstream Christians as heretical for denying the literal existence of God's Beloved Son from Heaven, including His eternal Being and personal communion with the Father as High Priest, Mediator, Intercessor and Advocate; rejecting the direct succession of apostolic gifts and authority through the ordination of the Christian bishops; rejecting the identity of mainstream Christians as the God-begotten Body and Church which Christ founded; and rejecting the affirmations of the [[ecumenical council]]s such as the [[Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed|Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople]], including the Holy Trinity. These rejections are for mainstream Christendom similar to [[Unitarianism]], in that they primarily result from Christological heresy. While many Unitarians are Arians, modalists differentiate themselves from [[Arian]] or [[Semi-Arian]] Unitarians by affirming Christ's full [[Godhead in Christianity|Godhead]], whereas both the Arian and Semi-Arian views assert Christ as not of one substance (Greek: [[Ousia|οὐσία]]) with, and therefore also not equal with, God the Father. Dionysius, bishop of Rome, set forth the understanding of traditional Christianity concerning both Arianism and Sabellianism in ''Against the Sabellians'', ca. AD 262. He, in similarity to Hippolytus, explained that the two errors are at opposite extremes in seeking to understand the Son of God, Arianism misusing that the Son is distinct respecting the Father, and Sabellianism misusing that the Son is equal respecting the Father. In fact, he also repudiated the idea of three Gods as error as well.<ref name="Against Sabellians"/> While Arianism and Sabellianism may appear to be diametrically opposed, the former claiming Christ to be created and the latter claiming Christ is God, both in common deny the Trinitarian belief that Christ is God Eternal '''in His Humanity''', and that this is the very basis of man's hope of salvation. "One, not by conversion of the Godhead into flesh, but by taking of the manhood into God."<ref>{{cite web|title=Athanasian Creed|url=http://www.reformed.org/documents/index.html?mainframe=http://www.reformed.org/documents/athanasian.html|website=Reformed.org|access-date=29 May 2017}}</ref>
