me ( singular individual ) in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of
the Father, ( a title describing a position of a person not a name )
and of
the Son, ( a title of a person not thier name )
and of
the Holy Ghost:”( a title )

Jesus is
the name of
the son

be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins,

the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now
if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”

the Spirit is life because of righteousness.”

The ne we prefaces a name “ the Jesus “ does t sound right because Jesus is a name not a title but “ the son “ sounds right because it’s a title not a name. The Holy Ghost , the comforter are titles the spirit of Jesus even isn’t wuote goving the spirit a name but telling us
the name of whose spirit it is.
