  14. Sprinkling or Pouring for Baptism Conclusion Scriptural baptism requires all the following: * Water * Much water * Coming to the water * Going down into the water * Coming up out of the water * Burial * Resurrection * Washing the body

  15. Sprinkling or Pouring for Baptism HISTORY OF SPRINKLING FOR BAPTISM - Hugo McCord “Immersion, and not sprinkling, was unquestionably the original form” (Philip Schaff, History of the Apostolic Church, p.568.)

  16. Sprinkling or Pouring for Baptism HISTORY OF SPRINKLING FOR BAPTISM - Hugo McCord The first instance of baptism by sprinkling was that of a sick man, Novatian, who was afraid he would die unbaptized, and in 251 A.D. had himself sprinkled “in apprehension of death” (Neander’sChurch History, I, p. 325). This was called clinical or hospital baptism in the Latin words: baptismusclinicorun.)

  17. Sprinkling or Pouring for Baptism HISTORY OF SPRINKLING FOR BAPTISM - Hugo McCord In 753 A.D. pope Stephen III legislated that “in cases of necessity” pouring water on the head “was acceptable” (Edinburgh Cyclopedia, III, pp. 245-246).

  18. Sprinkling or Pouring for Baptism HISTORY OF SPRINKLING FOR BAPTISM - Hugo McCord In 1311 a council of bishops meeting at Ravenna in Italy voted that either sprinkling or immersion was acceptable (George A. Klingman, Church History for Busy People). The practice of sprinkling then took over universally (except in the Greek Catholic Church) and has spread into many denominations.

  19. What’s Wrong with Sprinkling or Pouring for Baptism? • It does not satisfy all the requirements of Scriptural baptism: * Water * Much water * Coming to the water * Going down into the water * Coming up out of the water * Burial * Resurrection * Washing the body

  20. Result of Sprinkling or Pouring for Baptism • Those who have done it have not obeyed (disobeyed) God • Those who think they are “baptized” that way are still in their sins

  21. The Solution? • Go back to the New Testament and… • (2 Tim 1:13 NKJV) Hold fast the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

  22. The Solution? • Go back to the New Testament and prepare to meet God… • Acts 8.26-39

  23. A preacher in Indiana, in a sermon about 1840, criticized the statement that a preacher and a candidate for baptism “went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him” (Acts 8:38, KJV). He said that the word “into” in the Bible is “a bad translation, for it says that Moses went up into the mountain.” So, he concluded, Philip and the eunuch “went down to, or near by the water,” where the eunuch was “baptized by pouring or sprinkling.” Then the preacher gave an invitation for any one to speak. According to an old book by W. D. Frazee, REMINISCENCES AND SERMONS, a Dutchman in the audience, S. K. Houshour, arose and said: Mister Breacher, I ish so glad I vas here tonight, for I has had exblained what I never pelieved before. Oh, I ish so glad dat into does mean only close py. We reatdatTaniel vas cast into te ten of lions, and came out alive.

  24. Now, I neffer could pelievedat, for the wilt peasts would shust eat him right up, but now it ishexblained. He vas shust close by. Oh, I ish so glad I vas here tonight. We reatdat de Hebrew vas cast into de firishfunace and dat always look like a beeg story too, for day would have peen purnt up, but ish plain to my mint, for day vas shust cast py or close to the firish furnace. Oh, I vas so glad I vas here tonight. And den, Mr. Breacher, it is said dat Jonah was taken into de whaleshpelly. Now I never could pelievedat, but it is all plain, he shustshumpt on to his pack and rode ashore. Oh, I vas so glad I vas here tonight. And now, Mr. Breacher, if you will shustexblain two more passages. I shall be, oh, so happy dat I vas here tonight! One of them ish where it saish de vicked shall pe cast into a lake dat burns mit fire. O! Mr. Breacher, shall I pe cast into dat lake if I am vicked, or shust close py or near to, shust near enough to be comfortable? Oh, I hope you tell me I shall pe cast py a good way off, and I villpe so glad I vas here tonight. De odder passage is datvichsaish blessed are day who do dese commandments, datdey may enter in troo de gates into de city. Now, Mr. Breacher, if I vas good, shall I go into de city or only shust close py or near enough to see vhat I have lost. Please exblain and I shall pe so glad I vas here tonight.

  25. The Solution? • Go back to the New Testament and prepare to meet God… • (Acts 22:16 NKJV) 'And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.'
