1 | Sprinkling vs. Immersion | Rom 6:1 | Evening Starlight | 143447 | ||
I was baptized this past summer by sprinkling...and i know that baptism is basically a outward manifestation of faith...yet one of my close friends believes that it only "counts" if it is by immersion and not sprinkling....any comments or scripture would be greatly appreciated... | ||||||

3 | Scripture supporting Sprinkling/Immersio | Rom 6:1 | Evening Starlight | 143451 | ||
thanks...but that doesn't really answer my inquiry...is there any scripture that directly says whether baptism by sprinkling or immersion is "better", i only ask so that i may help my friend understand that God's grace is all that's necessary to be saved but i need to somehow counter his point about baptism to help him see this. Thanks | ||||||

Scripture ... Mark 7:4, Luke 11:38, Heb 9:10, Rev 19:13 ... Acts 22:16 A repost of mine ... Let me give you may never hear from someone who grew up as a "Baptist" ... the word we translate baptize, baptism, et al may be better washing - our sins are washed away inwardly (Acts 22:16), so we need to show that our sins are washed away. Yes, I go back to the original for my support. Verses clearly shows that the word "washing" is a correct translation. Furthermore, there is no implication of dipping or immersion. For example, "tables" (Mark 7:4) are not dipped or immersed to clean them. These passages, therefore, show us that in the Bible the word "baptize" means to wash or cleanse or purify. Luke 11:38, the word "wash" is the Greek word baptizo which also ordinarily is translated as "baptize." Likewise, in Hebrews 9:10 we of divers washings. Revelation 19:13, where a derivative of the word bapto is used, as well as all of the other verses where we find the words bapto or embapto, give us no clue as to the meaning of the word "baptism." I have more. Do a serach for [bapt table divers] Searcher |
