Bible Question: Where in the bible does it state that baptism is by emersion only? |
Bible Answer: Dear pogolue, For your information, my denomination employs baptism by sprinkling and my father have me baptised when I was an infant. I am still happy with my church which teaches according to bible. My search for your question has brought me to the below sites which hold argument with different stands (the sprinkling and the immersion) and I hope you find it helpful in understanding the topic. http://www.all-of-grace.org/pub/others/baptism.html http://www.ccs-hk.org/DM/Bapt_mode.html May the Lord keep us in His union for we are baptized to His body.
