It is claimed that Jesus originally told his disciples to baptise "in my name", not in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
In Matthew 28:19: the word "name" is used to represent of the solidarity of authority in the Father, the Son and the holy spirit.
Thus to baptize in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit would also signify to baptize by the authority of all three, which authority is total agreement.

 An Honest Look at Matthew 28:19
Notice that Jesus said "in the name" as opposed to "in the names." We insist that because the word "name" is singular and not plural, Jesus is suggesting that only one name, not three, is being spoken of.
As with the name of the Father, the "name" implies authority and representation.
His name can and should be invoked in prayer, in baptism and in praise, not because of some formulaic or mystical power that we attribute to the word, but because in saying His name we are acting as His agents, speaking by His authority and being motivated by an unyielding passion for His glory.

On the other hand, the gospel (1) does not have the manner of an eyewitness, and (2) is thought by many scholars to contain material borrowed from Mark, whereas one would not expect someone who had been an eyewitness to borrow from someone who had not.
