So Sprinklers, How would you answer this? |
I'm no sprinkler, but my answer is that in Scripture it obviously doesn't
always mean immersion.
I don't know about the particular minister you spoke with, but I've spoken with others. I find that their knowledge of the Bible is often quite limited. One I talked with was not aware of the Septuagint!
