Bible Note: Hi, Hoppy... I understood what you were saying. I hope my response was appropriate. Actually I heard one notion of sprinkling recently that sought to liken it to sprinkling the congregation of Israel with the blood of the peace offerings in Exodus 24:8. That's an interesting analogy, but I didn't find it persuasive. I don't think a paedobaptist would want to build to much on an argument like that either. In Him, Doc |
