Is it proper to baptise someone in the name of “Creator, Redeemer and Sanctifier” instead of “Father, Son and Holy Spirit” I think it is theologically wrong and against the sacred tradition of our church.
No, it is not proper. In fact, this had been happening in Australia in one particular parish – and the bishop is now suggesting doing a conditional baptism for every baby that was baptized using that formula. The Church has given us a formula to be used, and we are required to use it, and not to invent one of our own choosing.

If a priest performs such a Baptism it is invalid and the Bishop needs to be informed immediately so as to prevent more invalid Baptisms.
