>> Cynical bear what are your beliefs about water baptism? Do you think the mode should by sprinkling, immersing, or some other mode or combination of modes?<<

CynicalBear responded: Show me scripture where either one affects one’s salvation.

See what I mean, boatbums.....Just dodges and obfuscates.

That's what I call "every wind of doctrine."

What does it matter how one is baptized?

How is that obfuscation?

If he picks one, someone will pile on him for that.

If he picks the other, someone else will pile on him for THAT.

You know, maybe it’s just a matter of what works for someone. Maybe someone just got saved in the hospital and is on their death bed and would like to be baptized? What are you going to do? Find somewhere to dunk him?

How about, immersion if you can and sprinkling if you can’t or don’t prefer?

How about it doesn’t affect your salvation one bit if you get sprinkled, dunked, or neither?

He’s exercising discernment in not interfering with the unity of the body of Christ by not being baited or going into areas of *disputable matters* Romans 14.
