>> “how can the Church be wrong on baptism for 1,500 years??” <<
.
The church essentially ceased to exist in most of the world when the Roman catholic apostasy began in the third century. It came back in the sixteenth century when the Holy Spirit called on Martin Luther.
Everything that Rome has postulated on baptism is clearly wrong, but others likely worshiped scripturally without leaving much written record.
couple comments: first, you have no clue the Church is the Body of Christ on earth, it is protected by the Holy Spirit and no where in the Bible does it teach it will cease to exist.....gates of hell will not prevail against it. now, you must make up this accusation because if the Church didn’t go into apostasy, you are in apostasy by your own definition! The Holy Spirit i guess did a poor job with Luther, because he was also apostate according to you because he also didn’t understand baptism. Lastly, you do realize the Bible you hold in your hands, the canon was set by apostates? How can you trust their judgement, you might not have the Word of God at all. Joseph Smith would be proud, you agree with him, although he said the apostasy happened in the laste 1st century.

Ever read the reformers? That was not their belief.
