The Meaning of Baptism Is Lost In Sprinkling

[webdog]

I agree with immersion and am for it. I also agree with the pastristic writings, as it's the heart and obedience that matters.

Then the whole body would not be immersed and what would be the meaning of pouring?

Christ's blood covering you.

If Baptism portrays our rising with Christ, then this portrayal is lost in sprinkling as a proper mode of Baptism (Rom 6:4; Col.2:12).

Agreed - sprinkling infants is nothing at all like the Baptism that is described in scripture.

Sprinkling adults simply avoids the entire symbo of Romans 6 and "for what" ???
