By what nuance of meaning, in context, would Jesus use εἰς (eis) in Matthew and while Peter would use ἐπί (epi) in Acts?

In Matthew 28:19,
Jesus instructs his disciples regarding the nations, that they are to be "…baptizing them in (εἰς – eis) the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"

In Acts 2:38,
Peter instructs the Jews to "…be baptized every one of you in (ἐπί – epi) the name of Jesus Christ…"

These two words, ἐπί (epi) and εἰς (eis), are both translated as ‘in’ though they seem possess meanings distinct from each other:
