1 | No proof that immerse is mans tradition? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 77249 | ||
I agree sprinkling and pouring are traditions ... too. If you would study the three verses that I sent you ... you will see that baptism should mean washing. Read the Greek, use a lexicon to see every instance of the word and the related word(s). I do not care who you quote ... I also have "experts" that belive as I do. No one was there and all we have is what people think happened. They could have been in the water and they wash without being immersed. I will not waste my breath on you on this matter. |

Dear Searcher56, I'm glad that you admit sprinkling and pouring to be traditions. There is a clear difference between these two words and the one translated 'baptism/baptize'. Baptize is in the Bible. We are commanded to be 'baptized/immersed/plunged' and we are not told to be 'sprinkled or poured.' The Catholic Encyclopedia is a pretty fair and impartial, even if it goes against them, and it says that 'immersion' was the earliest practice. You say you won't 'waste your breath', but I hope you do not see this as a waste. I don't. I think it is good to challenge one another. With best wishes, Disciplerami |
