Yes, Jesus did state to baptize in the NAME of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, but ask yourself this; is Father, Son or Holy Spirit a name? Those are not names but titles, the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ.
Having three different titles does not make one three different personalities...
The Jehovah of the Old testament is the Jesus of the New testament.
In Revelation Jesus stated
Did not Jesus give Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven? When the people asked Peter essentially how to get to Heaven, he told them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, THAT IS THE KEY!
When Paul met those that were baptized by John the Baptist they had to be re-baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Now find me one place in the Bible where anyone was baptized under the titles of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...
If you can't then you must acknowledge that to baptize in that manner is contrary to scripture.
Show me where the Trinity is taught in the Bible.
It's not, that's was kinda my whole point.

Ultimately the theme of the Old Testament is the Law, and the Theme of the New Testament is Grace, what do the books you mentioned add?
