kl Subject:
"What Does Scriptural Baptism
Require "
Sprinkling, pouring or immersing? Obviously not all three.
The word "baptize" is a verb, and verb expresses one specific
action instead of several unsynonymous actions. Hence, the
Bible never speaks of a mode of baptism. The only way we
can account for this is that the word "baptize" is one specific
act and tells exactly what is to be done. Sprinkling, pouring j
and immersing, each, Is one distinct and specific act. That !
you might clearly see that each of the above actions is trans
lated from three distinct Greek words, I give them below:
1. Cheo ? pour. '
2 Rantizo ? sprinkle.
3. Baptizo ? dip. submerge, immerse.
Now. if the word "baptize" means sprinkling, then it does
not mean pouring and immersing; if it means pouring, then it
does not mean sprinkling and immersing; if it means im
mersing then it does not mean sprinkling and pouring. If the
word "baptize" does not mean one specific act ? but meajis
sprinkling, pouring and immersing, all three? then no one
could be baptized until he has done all three. No person be
lieves it means that. Only one action can possibly be right ?
is it springing, pouring or Immersing?
If the acts of immersing and sprinkling both constitute
baptism, as some contend, then either of the words could be
substituted for the word baptism in any passage where bap
tism occurs. Let's note a few:
1. Matthew 3:6 "And were sprinkled of him in Jordan, con
fessing their sins."
2. Mark 1:5 ' And there went out to him all the land of
Judea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all sprinkled of him
in the river Jordan."
3. "And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from
Nazareth of Galilee, and was sprinkled of John in Jordan.
And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the
heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upo.n
him:" Mark 1:9,10..
4. John 3:23 "And John also was sprinkling In Aenon near
to Salim, because there was much water there." (John was
baptizing because there was much water here; not here in
order to quench the thirst of the flocks and herds.)
5. Acts 8:36-39 "And as they went on their way they came
unto a certain water; and the eunuch said, See, here is water;
what doth hinder me to be sprinkled * * * And he com
manded the. chariot to stand still; and they went down both
into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he sprinkled
him. An 3 when hey were come up out of the water . . ?
6. Rom. 6:3.4 "Know ye not, that so many of us as were
sprinkled into Jesus Christ were sprinkled into his death?
Therefore we are buried with him by sprinkling Into death . .
Any man with an ounce of respect for the word of God can
readily see the falsity pf the contention that baptism, could
ever be truthfully called sprinkling.
* But to let you see more clearly just what scriptural bap
tism requires we present the following chart. By studying
this chart you can easily decide for yourself what BaptLsta is. .
Baptism Immersing Sprinkling Pouring |
1. Water Acts 8:36
2. Much water John 3:23
3. A going unto the water.
Acts 8:36
4. A going down into the
water Acts 8:38
5. The baptizer and the one
to be baptized go down inj
to the water. Acts 8:38,39
6. A burial. Rom. 6:4
7. A resurrection. Col 2:12
8. A birth. John 3:5
9. Body washed. Heb. 10:22
10. A coming up out of the
water. Acts 8:39; Mat. 3:16.
In reading the Bible you never get the idea that anything
short of immersing the person in water was called baptism.
The highest authority one has for either sprinkling or pour
ing is the church of Rome. Novation, received sprinkling as
he lay upon his sick bed in the year 251 A.D., the first ex
ample in history. Sprinkling for baptism was not legalized by
the Catholic 'church until 1311 A.D. in the Council of Ravenna.
(Johnson's Universal Cyclopedia, Vol 1, page 488).
Friends, do not let modern theologians keep you from ac
cepting the evident truth on this most vital subject. Beware
of a substitute. Accept only the genuine. It will pay. If you
have not been immersed, have you been baptized? Jesus said
it. Not me. If you become angry, then, it is you becoming
angry with Jesus Himself.

A Day At Camp With Macon County 4-H Clubbers
The week of July 6-11 was a biff one for 52 Macon County
youngsters. It was camp week for the 31 girls and 21 boys at
Camp Schaub, the 4-H camp near Waynesville. The above pic
ture layout shows how the busy 4-H'ers combined work and play
to carry out the four H's ? Head, Hands, Heart, ami Health.
(Top Row, L to R) During daily handicraft classes the Macon
youngsters turned out professional wooden lamps under the
supervision of a camp instructor; and folk games too, classes in
the morning and evening programs to show what they have
learned; and what would camping be without swimming? ? the
Macon boy diving the hard way is qualifying for "the funniest
dive" feature of a swimming meet, which saw the local campers
earn more than their share of points; (Bottom Row, L to R) All
wasn't play, however, and practical demonstrations put busy
heads in the running ? (left) a group of Macon girls take in a
demonstration on frozen foods and snack preparations; (right)
and the boys learn all about electric fences from a representa
tive of the Carolina Power and Light Company. ADDED INFOR
MATION: Three Macon 4-H'ers? Alelba Moses, Larry Potts, and i
Wayne Cole? were among eight group captains during the week; '
the local girls won the cleanest and neatest cabin award two
out of four days and the boys three out of four; the boys won
first place in a talent show the last night. "This was one of the
best group of campers we have ever had", was the feeling of
Assistant County Agent T. H. Fagg and Mrs. Barbara B. Hunni
cutt, assistant home agent, who accompanied the Macon campers.
Never wash your hands with
water after peeling onions.
Simply rub them with coarse
salt and the odor will disap
pear. A drop or two of vinegar
is good too. It's good, also, as a
mouth wash after eating onions.
Try using it on your pans.
To remove discolorations and
burns from all cooking utensils,
boil tea in them 15 to 20 min
utes. Then clean in the usual
way and they will improve.
Soak a charred steak pan in
salt water ? cleaning is made
easier.
When milk boils over on the
stove, quickly sprinkle salt on
the milk. This is an easy clean
up method and air conditioner
for the burned odor.
To keep the coffee pot sweet,
boil a weak solution of borax
or soda in it occasionally.
For cleaning decanters or i
bottles with small necks, peel
and cut a raw potato into small
pieces. Put the pieces into the i
decanter with warm water, j
shake it vigorously up and '
down and the bottle will soon j
be clear. Rice is good, also.
In making uncooked frosting, |
use a hot liquid for moistening;
it will take away that distaste- !
ful raw taste which uncooked
icing has.

It stands to reason. . .
Chevrolet trades
must be the best buy!
Big truck users, small truck users, all truck
users buy more Chevrolet trucks than any other make. It stands
to reason Chevrolet trucks must offer more of what you want.
When you stop to think about it, the best proof of outstanding value in any product is
continued public preference. That's the way it is with Chevrolet trucks. They're the top
selling trucks in America today ... for the twelfth straight production year.
This is a mighty important fact to consider before yo'-i buy your next truck. You'll also
want to consider that, while Chevrolet trucks give you more features you want, it's the
