I know that it is not the getting wet by any method that saves a person. It is the inward change brought about by the Holy Spirit. Methods of baptism has no saving value in themselves. If it did, then certain heretical groups would also have to be saved .

Amen. We are on the same page.

On a side note, I wonder if there are churches or groups that sprinkle adults in lieu of baptism, or if they just sprinkle the infants.
