For example, baptism:
some teachers baptism is absolutely necessary, others, unnecessary. The Bible says it's necessary.
Some teach infants may be baptized, others only adults. The Bible never mentions infant baptism. 
Some teach baptism has an effect on the soul, others that it is merely symbolic. The Bible says it's necessary for salvation.
Some churches teach one can be baptized more than once, others that it is a one-time event. The Bible says scriptural baptism is a one time event.

 

Ignore what Churches say. Especially apostate churches with priests and popes.

Re: infant baptism: the Bible says households were baptized, and St Paul says baptism is the fulfillment of circumcision. 🤔

Re: the other three: then how is it that other churches teach differently and back up their claims from the Bible?

How do we reconcile that different people glean different meanings from the Bible? Or are we all supposed to agree with you in order to be correct?

The thief on the cross wasn’t baptized.
