Baloney!!!

You are beginning to sound like an Arminianist in the tradition of Calvin. Sprinkling? I can see it now, Moses to the Children of Israel, "Look, you don't have to walk through the Red Sea, just take a shower and say you walked through". Or the the Ethiopian Eunoch to Phil, "I just had my hair done, can't you just dribble a little water on me and say you baptized me?" Or how about the Ephesians disciples, "Unto what were you baptized?", "well, John had a little water left over in his bottle so he just sprinkled a little on us just so he could say he met his quota."

Sprinkling is for sissies, immersion is for true warriors.

Nah. The true warriors go into the Church afterwards and "take up serpents."
