Hello T. Seesley.
In Bible times, when something is done in the name of someone it is meant that the action is done on the authority of the person named. So, to baptize in John's name, it is on the authority John the Baptist was given as the forerunner and prophet prophesied to appear to announce the coming of the Messiah. If one is baptized in the name of Jesus, it is done by the authority of Jesus.
When Jesus said to be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, then He was saying that the action is done by the authority of the Godhead. Also, in this baptismal instruction, Jesus was teaching that in baptism, all of God attests to the action and validates it. He also revealed that the Godhead is tri-fold.
To my understanding, one can be baptized in the name of the Father, son, and Holy Spirt, or simply in the name of Jesus, or Jesus Christ, or Lord Jesus, or the Lord, as Acts shows that the apostles spoke of all these names being used in baptism. WE do not really know the exact words the apostles used each time they baptized. Yet, when they speak of being baptized, the name mentioned is to indicate by whose authority they are baptizing the new believer.

Maybe you are able to answer folllowing question:
In Bible it says we must be baptized in Jesus name and filled of the Holy Ghost to see the Kingdom of God. Another place says be baptized in the name of the father, son and Holy Spirit.
Not sure if you are allowed to answer the question.
Have a blessed day!
