I definitely agree with this. I had to counsel a brother once because he was baptized into the name of Jesus, and not into the name of the Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Pleeeeeese!

Peter said that Baptism was the "answer of a good conscience toward God." Perhaps they will accept your testimony of baptism if you write it out, citing the Lord's work in your heart. If they don't accept that, then they are exposed for believing in their "holy water." Does a public bath qualify you for the kingdom of God, or your faith?

Most of these ordinances held by various churches were supposedly written as safeguards, but if your own testimony is not adequate, then we must ask whether these folks are in the old covenant or the new.
