This is sad, and it should not be so, for most of the controversy grows out of a disregard for what the word of God says. One clear example is found in the controversy over baptism. There are a great many people who accept sprinkling water, or pouring water on a person for baptism. The Scriptures do not even hint of two ways of administering the baptism of the Great Commission.
Baptism is the same everywhere in the world, and to everybody.
When all people are willing to accept what the Scriptures say about it, there will be no controversy over it. It is either a burial in water, or it is not baptism. The word of God is just as clear on the purpose of baptism as it is on what act is baptism. The Scriptures say it puts a person into Christ where that person now has remission of sins, and is said to be saved. Yet, despite all of this, a controversy rages over the purpose of baptism.
