Featured Baptists disagree on the meaning of baptism in . . .

Redundant. The term universe, catholic is extra Biblical at best. In late copies of the NT is used in some of the titles of letters translated "general."

 

It is not a Biblical term, except in some of late Greek NT book titles such as in, THE GENERAL EPISTLE OF JAMES.

 

Well the term "catholic" was apparently first used in the third century in the forged letter attributed to Ignatius of Antioch to the Smyrnaean church where the phrase "the Catholic Church" is first used, η καθολικη εκκλησια. The Catholic teaching of Eucherist being the flesh of Christ is taught in that letter.

 

That term was only used in some titles of late copies of the NT letters.

On the contrary the earliest use of the term, the Catholic Church, was in that forged letter teaching that the Eucherist was the flesh of Christ.

 

Baptism means immersion, and is not at issue in this thread. I do not understand how you can missunderstand.

 

How? The term usage originated with the Catholic Church in the third century.

 

Baptists disagree on the meaning of baptism in . . .
. . . in . . . what?

 

@JonC
My thinking for this thread was more along the lines of understanding a passage in terms of water immerion or regneration with the immersion of the Holy Spirit being meant. The idea of baptism being other than immersion was not an issue.

 

It is my understanding, the Greek term for "baptism" without other qualifications, I understand it to refer to water baptism.

Passages which do not solely use the term meaning immersion without some other type of qualification, I understand can refer to other than water immersion.

It has been my understanding the passages referenced in my OP baptists have disagreed whether or not they refer to water immersion.
