Thank you. The literal meaning of the word baptize is ‘to make whelmed (i.e. fully wet); and is used only (in the N.T.) of ceremonial ablution, espec. (techn.) of the ordinance of Chr. baptism: - Baptist, baptize, wash. (Strong's Greek #907)

Is water-boarding the same as getting fully wet or getting sprinkled with water? I have seen babies get sprinkled that reacted like they were being tortured.

Honest, I cannot understand the point you made. Are you saying Sarah cannot use the English word for the Greek "baptizo" unless she is referring to Christians getting dunked?

Pardon my denseness; it's acquired.
