Baptism by sprinkling

[MoreCoffee]

And elsewhere you say "you dont like it when people only take one scripture and ignore all others" .... so again , if you take what the entire scriptures state on the topic and not "only " the single piece to force fit a preferred tradition into the puzzle .. we see that it is all about death and resurrection all about burial and rising .
whe the whole picture is applies we know darn well it is by submersion .

I think you're hiding behind vagaries when you say "the entire scriptures". You have no passages that teaches that one must be submerged to be validly baptised as a Christian so you resort to vague references to the teaching of the holy scriptures in their entirety as justification for an unbiblical doctrine of compulsory submersion.

Do you mean Romans chapter six? The chapter that teaches that baptism unites one to Jesus Christ in his death and resurrection and that baptism plays a role in setting one free from bondage to sin? If that is what you mean then three cheers for your acumen in realising that baptism is the effectual means by which God brings about union with the Lord in the birth from above and reception of the Holy Spirit. Yet being buried with Christ and rising with Christ does not imply that one is submerged in water at baptism. The truth is that Christ's burial involved no submersion in dirt (or water). The Lord Jesus Christ was placed in a tomb completely dry and completely uncovered by dirt.

You say "distractions" the faithful say it is what Christ teaches and what the holy scriptures teach. I've given you the passages from the scriptures but you treat them as dirt to be ignored. Even the passage you think teaches that one is submerged in dirt when one is buried gets ignored by you when it teaches that baptism unites the faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ and that the faithful die and rise with Christ in baptism. And yes it is Catholic teaching yet it is also Anglican and Lutheran teaching - they having inherited it from the Catholic Church. One need not be submerged in water to have one's sins washed away. One need not be submerged in water to be born from above. One need not be submerged in water to receive the Holy Spirit. And one need not be submerged in water to be baptised into Christ.
