But then the point should be made that no where in the Bible itself (the main reference) is someone baptized three times, nor was the phrase as spoken by Jesus used ritually during a baptism. I think that was the main point of this discussion. See Acts 2:37,38; 10:48. A mention of this deserves a place in proximity to the statement that people earlier in the church said that was the way it should be done. (And even in the early references to this they do not infer an equality.)
