Triune vs. Trine
changed all references to triune immersion baptism to trine immersion baptism with the edit summary "Fixed spelling". I believe this is incorrect.

It seems that "trine" simply means "triple", whereas "triune" is a reference to the Trinity (Merriam-Webster).

Historic Brethren sources use both trine and triune in reference to Baptism. Both terms are used, for example, in: The following sources use just triune: The following sources use just trine:
 * Holsinger, H. R. (1901). Holsinger's History of the Tunkers and the Brethren Church. Pacific Press.
 * Holsinger, H. R. (1901). Holsinger's History of the Tunkers and the Brethren Church. Pacific Press.
 * Henry, J. M. (1936). History of the Church of the Brethren in Maryland. Brethren Publishing House.

A quick web search reveals that the usage of the term "triune" continues to the present.

That said, I actually don't object to ‎174.59.26.31's changes, as what is described in this article is the mode of baptism, not the meanings ascribed to that mode. I'm just offering this for the record. Daask (talk) 12:07, 22 December 2017 (UTC)
