Baptism

John "the Presbyterian" didn't immerse anyone under water, like Baptists would, but sprinkled them according to the Law of Moses (Numbers 8:7). When the Old Testament spoke of baptism, it never, ever, had in mind immersion! Even so, Jesus Himself when giving His command to "baptize" (Matthew 28:20) directly fulfilled what Isaiah (52:15) and Ezekiel (36:25) said He would. ~Argin Gerigorian

We enjoy some of the age-old baptism controversy, though method of baptism (also credo, paedo) is not as significant as the obedience to the command: Go Disciple the Nations, Baptize in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
