Did Paul teach the doctrine of the Trinity?
Romans 1:1-22
Paul is preaching to the Romans that God has shown them who he is through His manifestation as Jesus Christ (I Timothy 3:16). They had seen God’s power and Godhead. (Colossians 1:19, 2:8-10, I John 1:1-2). They knew God (Jesus Christ) but they didn’t honor nor glorify Jesus as God and they weren’t even thankful that they knew him.
Note: Their hearts were darkened because they didn’t believe that Jesus was God. Therefore, they lost their understanding of the mystery. They thought they were enlightened and had wisdom about who God is; but they became fools because of their unbelief.
Today, we have become vain in our own imaginations - thinking that God is more than one person through “The doctrine of the Trinity.” The doctrine of the Trinity is foreign to the three major religions, Judaism, Islam, and true Christianity. These major religions are strictly monotheistic, meaning God is absolutely one with no help from any other person. The doctrine of "the Trinity is a figment of man’s imagination" (Colossians 2:8-10). Study the origin of the “Trinity” in the Public Library. God never said he is three persons. God is absolutely one Person (Hebrews 1:3).
The Trinity was developed by Catholic men in 325AD. Paul and the apostles were dead when the Trinitarian doctrine was put together by the Catholic church (Colossians 2:8-9). Therefore, Paul nor the apostles never taught anything about a three person god. Jews like Muslims are strictly monotheistic and have rejected the Trinity as heresy. And they are absolutely correct. God is one.
Paul was appalled that anyone would teach any other doctrine other than what he taught the apostles (Galatians 1:8-9). Again, Paul nor the apostles taught anything about a Trinity or a three person god. "A three person god is a figment of man's imagination". "The Trinity is an assumption" that God is three persons. It's not in the Bible and God never said he is three persons. God has spoken on more than one occasion that He is absolutely one God. In summary, Paul didn't teach the doctrine of the Trinity and it's not in the Bible.

Did Paul get baptized in the name of the Lord?
Acts 22:1-18
Paul gets baptized in the name of the Lord. Paul relates how he found out that Jesus Christ is the name of the Lord God Almighty of heaven and earth whom he had persecuted. Paul was baptized in the name of the Lord following his encounter with Jesus Christ (verse 16). Jesus told Paul to leave Jerusalem because they would not believe his story.
Note: The story - God spoke personally to Paul out of heaven and gave Paul his highest and glorious name – Jesus Christ. Paul got baptized in the name of the Lord for remission of sins because he believed on Jesus Christ and the revelation of God. Paul knew from his traditional Jewish training that God is one Person and only God or an angel speaks out of heaven, no one else. Therefore, Paul asks God his name and God told Paul his name is Jesus whom thou persecutest; (Acts 9:5, I Corinthians 10:4, Hebrews 1:3, 8, I John 1:1-2, Revelation 1:8).
Question? Why would Paul preach or teach any other way to get baptized if he was personally baptized in the name of the Lord, the only name whereby we are saved ? (Acts 4:12, 22:16, Galatians 1:6-12). The "Jesus name baptism" is the solid rock, and one of the keys, upon which the church is built and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it (Matthew 16:18-19, Acts 2:38).
There is no record of anyone getting baptized in God's titles - the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost (Matthew 28:19). Baptisms in the New Testament were always in the name of the Lord (Acts 22:16), in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38), or the name of the Lord Jesus (Acts 19:5). All water baptisms by the apostles were in the name of Jesus Christ in some form. Paul and the apostles always preached the same thing about baptism. God's name remits sin by the blood of Jesus Christ and is the foundation and the solid rock of our salvation. There is solid proof that God's name was always used by Paul and the apostles to baptize new converts (Acts 4:12, Romans 6:3-6, Colossians 3:17).
