"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one" (1 John 5:7). It is interesting that Erasmus's first and second editions did not contain this (what is known as the Comma Johanneum). Luther's Bible came from the second edition and does not contain the Comma. This trinitarianTrinitarian formula was added in his third edition likely due to pressure from the Catholic Church.
Consider that in 311 AD, Eusebius finished "The Proof of the Gospels", in which he gives statements such as, “With one word and voice He said to His disciples: “Go, and make disciples of all nations in My Name, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you,” (Proof of the Gospel by Eusebius, Book III, ch 6, p. 152) several times. Eusebius was present at the Council of Nicea, which did not convene until 325 AD. It would appear that Eusebius did not have a manuscript containing this trinitarianTrinitarian version of Matthew 28:19, and that it became an agenda at the council that has been pushed since then.
The next verse typically mentioned is, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen" (2 Corinthians 13:14). However, if one reads this Scripture exegetically, one would have to admit it only affirms the existence of Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit. There is no implication of them being co-eternal, which is a definable characteristic of the trinity according to the Nicene creedCreed.

While it may be somewhat impossible to prove that Matthew 28:19 was changed to support the trinity (which is not a Biblical word or doctrine), the question that must be asked for this doctrine and any other doctrine is: is it truth? As the Bible states many times (I believe it is 7 times total), "In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established" (2 Corinthians 13:1). One verse cannot be sufficient then for an entire doctrine.

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one" (1 John 5:7).

If Matthew 28:19 was not changed, it makes the following verse fairly contradictory.

Acts 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Acts 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.

Acts 8:12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

Acts 8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Acts 19:5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

If Jesus commanded them to baptize "in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost," why did they only baptize in the name of Jesus? It is by Jesus, "who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed" (1 Peter 2:24). "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time" (1 Timothy 2:5-6). Therefore, it is by His name only that we receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38).
