1 | disciplerami, must it be immersion? | Bible general Archive 1 | Searcher56 | 77146 | ||
The reason most think it is "immerse" is because of tradition. It is not the truth. Study more. | ||||||
2 | No proof that immerse is mans tradition? | Bible general Archive 1 | disciplerami | 77238 | ||
Do you have any evidence? I quoted a reputable source and you tell me to study more? You cannot have the respect of your fellow posters if you don't offer proof for your statements. The Lexical and Historical proof is on my side and you know it. If I'm wrong, then show me the evidence. Searcher, it is you who needs to study more. The earliest "tradition" is the tradition handed down to us by the apostles and prophets whom God inspired to write the Bible (1 Corinthians 11:1,2) It is sprinkling and pouring that represent the traditions and precepts of men. Have a good day. |

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 |
