This meant Jews only needed to be baptized in the name of Jesus whereas non Jews needed to be baptized ''in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit''."

I think this is edging towards a creative interpretation
Do the baptismal formulations elsewhere in the NT make this Christian baptismal distinction between Jews and Gentiles ?
Most references are to "all" the Nations or people which would include the Jews wouldn't it ?

Otherwise instructions would be to preach and baptise with the triune formulation to Gentiles but just in the name of Jesus to Jews .. who had recently rejected him with conviction !
Are you saying that Peter, Paul and other early disciples did not baptise the newly converted in the name of Jesus ... regardless of who they were ?

Nothing like seeing and hearing logic and common sense and letting the words of the Bible and not man, do the talking.

So well done again Coppo.
