Is this inisistance (rather than a strong preference) on immersion widespread or even universal?
Can this practice be defended as anything other than sectarian? |
If Baptists are true to what they believe they will insist on baptism by immersion of professed believers. Sectarian? I have to interpret your use of that word as pejorative. I prefer to view our view of baptism as scriptural. Arguable? On the PB, certainly!
