I am looking for a verse that would suggest we are baptized in a trinitarian formula and that either those who were baptized have heard of trinity or those who have heard of the trinity have been baptized. And so the auther is asking them a question. I’m using this to support baptism in the trinity. I have heard of the argument and can’t seem to find the verse?
 
Found it Acts 19
2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?” So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
 
Matthew 28: 19 “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”
 
The Trinity was revealed to the world at the baptism of Jesus. So it is with our baptism.

This is a good passage to bear in mind. It seems to show two things at work simultaneously–baptism and confirmation/chrismation–which are real rites that transform the soul of the recipient (sacraments), not works which give public testimony to one’s faith or stem from obedience to Christ (ordinances).
