34. When were Baptisms using the Titles of Matthew 28:19, first performed?

History shows that in the middle of the 2nd century i.e. about 150 years after the day of Pentecost, Justin Martyr introduced a change in the baptismal formula from being done “in the name of Jesus” to repeating the commission of Matthew 28:19, after the council of Nicea (A.D. 325) officially adopted this change.
