Judith Anne,
It is amazing how Protestants twist the scriptures to avoid the obvious. Clearly baptism means water is used. Yet Protestants will deny all that is known about scripture and Greek to avoid the truth.
Yhey literally worship Paul, so that NO ONE can question his writing or his teaching, but yet completely toss out Paul’s commandments in Hebrews 13.
That’s an unfair statement. I am not Catholic but I see baptism by water as important. It is a spiritual exercise symbolizing the cleansing by Jesus blood and being buried with Him and risen to new life with Him.
To lump all “Protestants” together is naïve and tends to make one appear ill informed.
