W imię Jezusa czy Trójcy Świętej? Kilka uwag o formułach chrzcielnych
In the name of Jesus, or the Holy Trinity? Some remarks on the baptismal formulas

Summary/Abstract: Being a Christian begins from the moment of baptism. In baptism a human being professes the faith in the Holy Trinity to be able to receive forgiveness and sanctifying grace. Apostolic Church used two baptismal formulas: Christological and Trinitarian. Thediscussion on these formulas precedence has still been open. This article aims at drawingattention to consequences of unambiguous advocating the priority of the Christological formula and treating the Trinitarian formula as secondary. It seems that caution in theevaluation of historical precedence must be special here due to the continuity of maintainingone sacramental economy in Church. Both formulas were probably present in first Christian communities, and establishing the Trinitarian formula resulted from the Churchawareness increase.
