Do Anabaptists still object to infant baptism?

- We should baptise in the name of Jesus. (This can be said as "the name of the Son", or also said as "in the name of Jesus". It is Christian tradition to also say "the name of the Father" and "the name of the Holy Ghost".)

It is way more than Christian tradition.

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

Yes. However Paul also said to baptize in Jesus’ name . So either is acceptable.

That is not how I interpret scripture. If there are two commands, you follow both. Not choose between the two.

I would personally choose this. However, most Christians want to baptize and say "in the name of the father, the son, and the Holy Ghost". Some want to say "in the name of Jesus". I would prefer that both commands were followed, but most people only do the former, and I don't want to condemn them too harshly for that.

How is baptizing in the name of the Son not baptizing in the name of Jesus?

How is baptizing in the name of the Son not baptizing in the name of Jesus?

Well, Ernie was saying we have to follow both commands.

I go by what I understand is the intention of the text, not the letter.

When I baptize, I say, "In the name of God the Father, and his Son Jesus Christ, and of The Holy Spirit." or something along that line.

Using the words "in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" is following both commands.

People who focus on Acts 2:38 will say that when it says to “baptise in the name of the son”, it is telling you to “baptise in Jesus’ name”.

This is interesting. I would like to know more. Can you direct me to where I can find this in its context?

I find this a fair minded presentation but it seems to be saying something similar to what I said earlier, you can find quotes here and there to support what you want to find. What I didn't hear was a quote from Origen that claimed the apostles taught infant baptism.

I will find it, I cannot remember now but I’ve seen it more than once. Maybe read all Origens writings. He is questioned on some of his theology, but his statement that the Apistles taught to baptize your infants wasn’t his “theology”, it was a statement that obvious was handed down to him as he wasn’t born yet at time the Apostles started Churches.
I completely understand why Anabaptists would want to reject this with all their hearts, there are however former Anabaptists who do believe the historical understanding.

Where does Paul say this?

People who focus on Acts 2:38 will say that when it says to “baptise in the name of the son”, it is telling you to “baptise in Jesus’ name”.

They may be trying to make a distinction between those statements, but there is none.
