1 | Which method of baptism Bible supported? | Bible general Archive 1 | Makarios | 5579 | ||
As I seek to become rebaptized this summer, the church that I attend uses the method of immersion to baptise. I have seen sprinkling, pouring, and immersion baptisms take place. According to scripture, is there are 'right' way to be baptised? Which way (immersion, sprinking, pouring) is best according to scripture? | ||||||

Nolan, our English word "baptize" is a transliteration of the Greek word "baptizo." The following definition is from the Hebrew-Greek Key Word Study Bible; Spiros Zodhiates, executive editor; AMG Publishers, Chattanooga, TN: "Baptizo, to immerse, submerge for a religious purpose (John 1:25); to baptize or immerse in or wash with water in token of purification from sin and from spiritual pollution." Paul in Romans 6:4 and Colossians 2:12 uses the term "buried with Him (Christ) in (or by) baptism." Clearly this indicates immersion; it is inarguable to suppose that "to sprinke" or "to pour" are synonymous terms for "to bury." --Hank | ||||||

Steve Butler, in your note to me you said the following: "Hank, read my post to Nolan...the passages in Romans and Colossians do not refer to physical baptism." I have read your post to Nolan and must confess I don't understand whatever points you attempted to make. What I do understand in no uncertain terms is that in it, you did not ever refer to Romans 6:4 or Colossians 2:12. But you tell me that those passages do not refer to physical baptism. I take your term "physical baptism" to mean "water baptism" -- is that what you mean to say? If the passages do not mean baptism by water, then what do they mean? Prove your point. If you say it is Spirit baptism that is meant, please prove your case. It is hardly adequate to state merely an opinion of what they do not refer to. I say again, prove your point. Nolan Keck asked a good and serious question. He deserves no less than a clear, sound and accurate Biblical answer. --Hank | ||||||

I'll explain my post to Nolan as a reply, as well as here. Baptism does not mean immersion ... it means to wash or cleanse. There are non-English translations that say washings. The translater who insisted on saying that baptizo and its kin wash baptism got to leave the country. Romans 6:4 and Colossians 2:12 do not refer to phyiscal water baptism. These refer to when we become Christians. Look at the context. Did we die to sin (Romans), or put off sin (Colossians) at the moment of salvation or later? |
