I have heard the verse may have existed also but only in part. For the same reason that I feel Matthew 28:19 is spurious I feel the inclusion of the Father Son and Holy Ghost in 1 John 5:7 is tampered also. My reason again is on an understanding of what the Holy Ghost is in my opinion. Additionally, it is to be included in that verse then that lends weight to the verse in Matthew 28:19. That verse to would support the Trinity doctrine - again I think that doctrine is not found within the Word of God based on the fulfilling of the temple design as mentioned in the OT. So I'm using the OT representation of the Temple design and its symbolic references to those things fulfilled and revealed in the NT.
