Herr was associated with Pennsylvania's Mennonites, but evidently left that sect after doctrinal disputes. Mason's argument with Herr centered around "several plain contradictions" in Herr's thinking, according to Mason, but particularly water Baptism, which Herr calls "an ordinance of Christ" but which Mason "demonstrates to be John's dispensation."
