Perhaps here's a way immersionists and non-immersionists can compromise on the mode of baptism:


Now that's affusion!

It would baptize you and send you straight to heaven in one shot.

But was it moving water? I mean where the water in the bucket came from. One Pastor I know will only baptize in rivers and moving water.

In deeper reverence, praise. - John Greenleaf Whittier 1807-1892

I'd say that water was moving pretty fast!

Yep, that handled the whole issue, sprinkling and immersion.

Yes, this is definitely one way in which baptism by pouring can symbolize death.

This should be the pope's chariot. Then, whenever he travels anywhere, he can baptize people at will and remove their original guilt.

Every one knows you need to be baptized in a river with running water or you are just baptizing in dirty water (sins) of others. How else is baptism supposed to wash away your sins? That would be like a mulititude of people taking a bath in the same dirty water right. Just think bathing in someone elses sins. Yuck.

Actually this is what I was taught when I was saved in a Pentecostal church.

I am so thankful and glad the Lord delivered me from such foolishness.

The force of the water may push them over backwards. Where are the catchers?
