Subject: is baptism important |
Bible Note: Point taken. The one Baptism I referred to earlier is the Christian baptism. The Greek word for baptize, for others reading this discussion, simply means dip or immerse. I believe the reason the King James translators simply transliterated and anglacised the word was because USAGE had changed from the original practice of immersion to that of sprinkling or pouring. If they had translated it as they should have there would not be so much confusion today about the need for baptism by immersion. |
