Jonathan,

BAPTIZEIN EN uDATI
to baptize in water
or
to baptize with water
BAPTIZEIN EIS oNOMA
Is a different kind of problem. EIS oNOMA is found in the papyri and may be
either a Greek or a Semitic idiom. From its use in Matthew 10:41, one may
conclude that it mreans "by the authority of." However, it may also
represent the cultic usage of leshem suggesting that baptism brings a person
into a position where he is ruled by.
