Trinitarian formula​


Some of the Church Fathers testified that Matthew wrote his gospel in Hebrew. The Trinitarian formula does not appear in the Shem-Tob Hebrew manuscript of Matthew. This Hebrew manuscript does not seem to have been copied from the Greek or Latin either. The omission of the command to baptize and the Trinitarian formula in the Shem-Tob manuscript contributes to the conclusion that the Trinitarian formula did not exist in the original manuscript of Matthew, but was a later addition.

Also:
In the fourth century, a group called the “Pneumatomacki,” who resisted recognizing “the Holy Spirit” as the third person of the Trinity, apparently used a text of Matthew that did not have the Trinitarian formula.

It is known that after the time of Emperor Theodosius (346-395), that writings that did not agree with the official position of the Catholic Church were to be sought out and destroyed.

The teaching of a Trinitarian formula word be something new in Orthodox Judaism, and there is no examples of Christ teaching the Apostles any such thing.

All of the New Testament teaches baptism in the name of Christ. The only place that teaches a different baptism is Matthew 28:19.

So the bottom line is this; there were bible text after the fourth century that did not have the Trinitarian formula.
 
Pneumatomachi, so called by the Catholics.
The Pneumatomachi, also known as Macedonians or Semi-Arians in Constantinople and the Tropici in Alexandria, were an anti-Nicene Creed sect which flourished in the regions adjacent to the Hellespont during the latter half of the fourth, and the beginning of the fifth centuries. They denied the godhood of the Holy Ghost, hence the Greek name Pneumatomachi or 'Combators against the Spirit'.

What they denied was the Holy Spirit being a third person of a Trinity. Holy Spirit is a title for Yahwah whom is a Holy Spirit.
