What is baptism? Some claim it
pouring, some claim sprinkling,
while others claim immersion. We
know that the Bible records bf
tism only as a burial and every
example la immersion. We know
also that every doctrine or faith
will accept immersion even though
they claim something else will do
By common reasoning you can see
it is safer to be immersed even
if you wish to disregard Acts 8:
38-39. ‘And He commanded the
chariot to stand still and they
went down both into the water,
both Philip and the eunuch, and
he baptized him. And when they
were come up out of the water,
the spirit caught away Philip, and
the eunuch saw him no more and
he went on his way rejoicing "
Immersion is correct and safe, by
the authority of the Gospel of
Christ.
