I Think I've Found a Way to Make Peace on Baptism

[Marrow Man]

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

Now that's affusion!

How many fingers did he use in pushing the baptismal lever?

 

[PuritanCovenanter]

Yep. That would cover all the bases. LOL

 

[Scottish Lass]

Whoa! It completely wrecked the car!

Goes to show how heavy water is at 1000 kilograms per cubic meter.

 

[Augusta]

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

 

[Hungus]

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.

 

[Marrow Man]

I'd say that water was moving pretty fast!

 

[William Price]

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

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

Wholeheartedly approved by the Church of Christ and all other you-can-lose-your-salvation-types.

No doubt about it!!!

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.

[LawrenceU]

Yep, that about gets them all.

 

[Rich Koster]

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

That's about 8 lbs./gal. for those of us who just can't do metric.
