Today's blog is about baptism and the ways it can be done. First off, there is immersion. What is immersion, you ask? Well it is how the first baptism was done years ago. John the Baptist first baptized people by dunking them under water and saying that they were baptized. He also baptized Jesus, if memory serves.
Now, another form of baptism is a little off the wall, but this involves sprinkling. The Lutherans, Episcopillians, and Catholics all sprinkle a person's head with holy water and smear ash on their foreheads. That is a different form of baptism, but not the Bible's suggestion.
The word baptism is taken from the Greek word, Baptizo meaning to immerse or dunk underwater. This way is the right way, but I, as a Lutheran, believe that there is no right or wrong way. If you want to comment on this post, please do by clicking the 'comment' bar and typing your comment.
So, there you have it, guys. Baptism and its history. Thanks for reading and God Bless!
