The WS doctrine is poor understanding and harmonizing of scripture. I'm befuddled when theologians and saints of God see as much as a puddle in Scripture and they believe it must mean water baptism.
I am also troubled with a prevailing movement that believes that a series of works activate the grace of God and the inward work of His Spirit
