"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"
The EGW passage speaks of recognizing only what bears Christ's name in His kingdom. This directly reflects the principle in Matthew 28:19, where disciples are instructed to baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The emphasis on 'name' and 'superscription' aligns with the Trinitarian baptismal formula.
"When Christ said to the disciples, Go forth in My name to gather into the church all who believe, He plainly set before them the necessity of maintaining simplicity. The less ostentation and show, the greater would be their influence for good. The disciples were to speak with the same simplicity with which Christ had spoken. They were to impress upon their hearers the lessons He had taught them. AA 28.3"
Likely biblical basis 80% Matthew 10:7
"And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand."
The EGW passage emphasizes simplicity in preaching and teaching, drawing a connection to Christ's example. While Matthew 10:7 is a general instruction to preach, the EGW passage builds upon this by adding the element of simplicity, which can be seen as a principle derived from Christ's ministry and applicable to the instruction in Matthew 10:7.
