The Calvinists in Geneva figured that if the Baptists prefer immersion then they’d deal with the problem by drowning them. They killed over 900 of them, most of them by holding them under the waters of Lake Geneva until they could no longer breathe.

The original meaning of the word ‘’baptize’ was to cover with water - sink under water.

Ships sunk in battle were said to have been ‘baptized’

and yet, in man's ever holier than thou ignorance, 100’s were killed for practicing baptism as it was done in Jesus’ day...and thousands driven from their homes.

What other churches use the original practice?
