太二八19　　所以你们要去，使万民作我的门徒，将他们浸入父、子、圣灵的名里。

　　罗六3　　…我们这浸入基督耶稣的人，是浸入祂的死…。

　　林前十二13　　因为我们不拘是犹太人或希利尼人，是为奴的或自主的，都已经在一位灵里受浸，成了一个身体，且都得以喝一位灵。

　　主在马太二十八章十九节…清楚地说出父、子、圣灵三者来。但主在这里说到父、子、圣灵的名，所用的“名”字，在原文是单数的。这是说，父、子、圣灵虽是三者”名却是一个。实在奥秘，三者一个名。这当然就是三而一。…这一个名就包括父、子、圣灵三者。这就是说出神是三而一的，虽是一位神，却有父、子、灵三者的讲究。（李文集一九七○年第三册，四○八至四○九页。）

　　Matt. 28:19 Go therefore and disciple all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

　　Rom. 6:3 …All of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death.

　　1 Cor. 12:13 For also in one Spirit we were all baptized into one Body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free…

　　The Lord… in Matthew 28:19… speaks clearly of the three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. But when He speaks here of the name of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit, the name is in the singular number in the original text. This means that though the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are three, yet the name is one. It is really mysterious—one name for three persons. This, of course, is what is meant by the expression three-in-one, or triune….This name includes the three—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and tells us that God is three-in-one. Although God is only one, yet there is the matter of the three persons—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. (CWWL, 1970, vol. 3, “Concerning the Triune God—the Father, the Son, and the Spirit,” pp. 289-290)

　　在马太福音这卷国度的福音结束时，主启示出我们已经被浸入父、子、圣灵的名〔人位〕里。（二八19。）…在这一节里，父、子、圣灵的名乃是那神圣者的总称，等于祂的人位。将人浸入三一神的名里，就是将人带进三一神的人位里，使人与这神圣的人位有生机的联结。我们与三一神生机的联结，将我们带进对三一神深入的享受和丰富的经历里。（李文集一九八八年第一册，五二七至五二八页。）

　　施浸乃是带悔改的人脱离老旧的光景，进入新的境地；这是借着了结他们老旧的生命，并以基督的新生命重生他们，使他们成为国度的子民。…主耶稣既已完成祂在地上的职事，经过死而复活的过程，并成了赐生命的灵，祂就吩咐门徒，将作祂门徒的人，浸入三一神里面。…主吩咐门徒这浸以后，不久就将他们和全召会都浸在圣灵里（林前十二13）：犹太部分在五旬节那天，（徒一5，二4，）外邦部分在哥尼流家里。（十一15~17。）以后，基于这事实，门徒将新悔改的人（二38）不仅浸入水里，也浸入基督的死、（罗六3~4、）基督自己、（加三27、）三一神、（太二八19、）以及基督的身体里。（林前十二13。）水，象征基督的死和埋葬，可以看作了结受浸者老旧历史的坟墓。因为基督的死包含在基督里面，又因为基督是三一神的具体化身，（西二9，）并且三一神最终与基督的身体是一；所以将初信的人浸入基督的死、基督自己、三一神、并基督的身体里，乃是作一件事：在消极方面，了结他们老旧的生命；在积极方面，为着基督的身体，用新生命，就是三一神永远的生命，重生他们。因此，主耶稣在马太二十八章十九节所命定的浸，乃是为着诸天的国，把人从自己的生命浸出来，而浸入基督身体的生命里。

　　十九节的“入”字指明联合，如在罗马六章三节，加拉太三章二十七节者。…将信徒浸入三一神的名里，就是将他们浸入三一神一切的所是里。（新约总论第五册，三○九至三一一页。）

　　At the conclusion of the Gospel of Matthew, the gospel of the kingdom, the Lord revealed that we have been baptized into the name [the person] of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (28:19)….The name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in this verse is the sum total of the Divine Being, equivalent to His person. To baptize people into the name of the Triune God is to bring them into the person of the Triune God that they may have an organic union with this divine person. Our organic union with the Triune God brings us into a deep enjoyment and a rich experience of the Triune God. (CWWL, 1988, vol. 1, “Living in and with the Divine Trinity,” p. 381)

　　Baptism is to bring repentant people out of their old state into a new one by terminating their old life and germinating them with the new life of Christ so that they may become kingdom people…. After the Lord Jesus accomplished His ministry on earth, passed through the process of death and resurrection, and became the life-giving Spirit, He charged His disciples to baptize the discipled people into the Triune God…. Not long after the Lord charged the disciples with this baptism, He baptized them and the entire church in the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13) on the day of Pentecost (Acts 1:5; 2:4) and in the house of Cornelius (Acts 11:15-17). Then, based upon this, the disciples baptized the new converts (Acts 2:38), not only visibly into water but also invisibly into the death of Christ (Rom. 6:3-4), into Christ Himself (Gal. 3:27), into the Triune God (Matt. 28:19), and into the Body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:13). The water, signifying the death of Christ with His burial, may be considered a tomb to terminate the history of the baptized ones. Since the death of Christ is included in Christ, since Christ is the embodiment of the Triune God, and since the Triune God is one with the Body of Christ, to baptize new believers into the death of Christ, into Christ Himself, into the Triune God, and into the Body of Christ is to do one thing: on the negative side to terminate their old life and on the positive side to germinate them with a new life, the eternal life of the Triune God, for the Body of Christ. Hence, the baptism ordained by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 28:19 is to baptize people out of their life into the Body life for the kingdom of the heavens.

　　The word into in 28:19 indicates union, as in Romans 6:3, Galatians 3:27, and 1 Corinthians 12:13….To baptize people into the name of the Triune God is to baptize them into spiritual and mystical union with Him….To baptize believers into the name of the Trinity is to immerse them into all the Triune God is. (The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 1322-1323)
