Has the church made baptism more complicated than Scripture does?

Your Words Are Giving You Away

The book of Proverbs doesn't treat speech as a personality trait. It treats it as evidence. Wise people are marked by discernment, self-control, and understanding. Fools reveal themselves through gossip, reckless words, anger, and a lack of restraint. The difference isn't hidden for long.
