When anyone talks about something being wrong, especially something as sensitive as the NT text, one has to have not just evidence, but a bit of exposure to the audience for them to see.
One way to do this is by comparisons. Post a portion of the relevant scripture and then post the questionable area against it to see if it shows itself out of sequence with the surrounding scripture, or in agreement. Such as this:
Here one can look, analyse, and compare the text against some other sections of scripture to see if it fits. What we see here is the disparity and problem the text creates against the rest of the scripture presented. Textually and doctrinally.
Let's try it with Eusebius's quote:
Here the quote fits within the supplied scripture quotes. If one notices, it agrees textually as well as doctrinally in the supplied scripture. Further scripture could be easily found that this quote would continue to agree in both areas, on all occasions.
This is not some sort of a fluke, this section here would agree with all supplied scripture quotes that someone could provide that were part of the subject, not just these bits I've posted.

Quote:1 Corinthians 1:13:"Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,
Galatians 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
'There is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. '(Acts 4:12).
Luke 24:46-47, "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations.
"Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus. .." (Colossians 3:17).
"When they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came upon them"
1 Corinthians 1:17-18 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect.
Go ye and make disciples of all peoples, and baptise them in the name of Father and Son and Holy Ghost. And teach them to observe all that I have commanded you.
