(I Corinthians 1:13-15).
Yes. As a matter of fact, Paul made sure that if you were a disciple of Christ, you would be baptized in Jesus name (Acts 19:1-5). Paul didn't baptize many but he always baptized in Jesus name.
In I Corinthians 1:13-15, Paul was trying to explain to the brothers that they should be all teaching the same thing and they should not consider baptizing in any other name other than the one who was crucified for them. Paul was also giving an indication that there was a name associated with baptism.
In order to find that name, one would have to study the book of Acts to find that the apostles only baptized in the name of Jesus Christ who was crucified and shed his blood for them. For there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Peter had already declared that name in the book of Acts on the day of Pentecost (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38). In addition, Paul himself was baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 22:12-16).
In summary, Paul wanted the brothers to understand that they should be baptized in Jesus name because He is the person who was crucified for them (Acts 19:1-5, Romans 6:3-4, Galatians 3:27, Colossians 2:8-12).

Is Jesus in the Godhead or is the Godhead in Jesus?
(Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9)
If we said Jesus is in the Godhead, this would give us an indication that Jesus doesn't have as much power as the Father and more power than the Holy Spirit. This thinking is unscriptural. When Jesus says I am the first and last, which means God is the first and last creation - in time (Isa 48:12, Revelation 1:11). Note: The key is “time.” Time has a first and last. There is no first and last in eternity.
Therefore, in the concept and understanding of time, Jesus Christ was begotten so that God could sacrifice himself during a period of time The Godhead which is infinite was placed in a finite body of Jesus Christ which bled and died (John 1:1,10,14, Acts 20:28).
Time, which is God’s creation, was placed in eternity. Jesus is the embodiment of all creation. He is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, Acts 2:38). Therefore, the Godhead is in the bodily person of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:15-19, 2:8-9, II Corinthians 5:19).
