Did Matthew Forget This?

This is short and sweet, or sour, depending on how one thinks.

I had never thought this until today when thinking about "Christ in you the hope of glory".

Matthew :
"Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."

There is no mention of receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost.

Did Matthew forget to add this? Or did Jesus forget to say this? After all this is KEY to the New Testament 'Church' and the New Testament. 

What did they say on the day of Pentecost :
Act 2:38 "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 
Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call."

I always just saw the seemingly contradiction of how to baptize.
I didn't see that to follow just "what Jesus said" - as many say - would eliminate receiving the "Christ in you the hope of glory".
Thus, I would have to alter a lot of things to make what Jesus said to function. Thus, trinity, creeds, beliefs like "god is in us all", etc..

I believe the key to Matthew 28 is "The NAME". What name?
I believe Peter after receiving 'Christ in him' at Pentecost spoke the answer : "Jesus Christ".
I believe the right answer triggered the blessing of the "gift of the Holy Ghost" to all ordained to receive this gift. 

Interesting. Just following Matthew 28 leaves out the foundation of the New Testament Church.
wow. 

This is what I believe.. comma,

Queen of Israel

Just pondering again.. Jesus came to Israel as 'Son of Man', so He could let them kill Him in order to blind them.. So He could get a Gentile Bride as 'Son of God' via the day of Pentecost template.. So that He could reveal Himself to Israel at the end time as 'Son of David' for the Millennium. Matthew 1:1 - "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David , the son of Abraham. .." Mark 12:35 - "And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the Son of David?" Matthew 21:15 - "And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David ; they were sore displeased, 21:16 - And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?" " The Messiah of whom we have been s...

Israel Gentiles Constantine

Think about it, the Jews didn't kill Jesus. He just allowed Rome to kill him - but remember, only because he let them.  But after that, it was the Jews killing the ones that were called "Christians".  It was later that they were called Christians, a term which could put them in a box. Why kill Jesus and Christians? Mostly because of political and financial reasons that were being hindered by Jesus. Positions of power were threatened. The Jews themselves were very used to Gentile pagans and their multi god fiascos. It's just that this time they were using something that was close to their heart : Elohim. And later, the old friends of Paul didn't like what he was doing and so they tended to follow him around and torment people who were followers of Jesus of Nazareth, and the day of Pentecost had really thrown the curve ball of this situation. Years later Constantine took advantage of this with his not-so-wonderful political maneuver, and as a Gentile himself, he pul...

I Never Capitalize satan

The Bible is very clear that God made both good and that which is evil. God Himself is not evil, but he made the scenario - on purpose - that would let 'evil' manifest. "Thus G‑d created a world in which goodness and evil are equal options, and He created humanity with the freedom to choose." Chabad org "I am the Lord, there is none else; I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil" Isaiah 45:6-7 “See, I [God] have set before thee this day life and good, and death and  evil .” Deuteronomy 30:15 Rabbi Singer says it this way, "In essence, Satan is an agent of God, and has no free will or independent existence." He then discusses the book of Job and how satan had to ask God for permission. Then he adds his thought about Christians : "They clearly grasped that a Bible which asserts that God creates evil, calls into question Christendom’s rigid teachings on salvation."
