What Should You Say When Baptizing Someone? | My problem with roman catholicism... | STOP TRADITIONS

After a roman catholic bishop from Phoenix, Arizona by the name of Andres Arango had mistakenly performed thousands of baptisms over the course of decades by using the phrase "we baptize you" instead of "I baptize you", these baptisms were deemed "invalid". I would argue that any baptism performed by water that one is using as a means of requiring regeneration, rather than trusting in Jesus Christ alone and the Gospel message that He brings forth about His life, death, burial and resurrection for the remission of sins and the granting of eternal life to all that believe, is an invalid one. It is invalid because it denies the Baptism that truly matters and that is the Baptism with the Holy Ghost that was prophesied by John the Baptist in Matthew 3:11-12, "I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire (King James Version)." The reason that this error is deemed so grave is because of the roman catholic doctrine of infused righteousness. They believe that the righteousness of Jesus Christ is not imputed on someone's account by Grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone as clearly stated in Romans chapters 3-5. They believe that one must obtain righteousness through a series of meritorious good works, in addition to faith in Jesus Christ; however, their true faith is not in Jesus, but rather their sacramental system that has no Scriptural bases. The water baptism is essentially one's access to the sacramental system, which (using their logic) means that anyone who was baptized incorrectly have wrongfully partaken in other sacraments, have not received remission of sins, and other observances are deemed invalid, such as marriage. This just goes to show the dangers of traditions of men, which we are specifically warned about in Colossians 2:8, "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ (KJV)." Unfortunately, whether it be due to comfort or pride, many are unwilling to step away from their traditions. These are my thoughts on the insanity in this video!
