One Baptism

Good evening to all. Today's theme in CSI almanac is One Baptism The message might have been delivered in all CSI churches. Here is an issue on the title of Baptism UTC thelogians and other Scholars may be

enlighten. MODE OF BAPTISM. Of course the mode of Baptism is no longer an issue in CSI. We administer both infant and adult Sprinkling and Immersion Baptism. But only one Baptism no second Baptism. That is the discipline of the church in CSI. For few occasion I administered immersion Baptism depending on the will of those who were to be baptized. Now the point is Still the people are in dilemma and on the crossroads about the mode of Baptism I have known people of CSI members who have taken second Baptism happens to be immersion secretly. Little confusion on the kind of Baptism even today. Sectarian groups Pentacostal churches insist immersion Baptism though it could be second time of Baptism. Why this confusion and wrong doctrine on this sacrament. Catholic Church not administering immersion Baptism . Why this confusion on the mode of Baptism?. Because the Gospel writers did not narrate clearly on the mode of Baptism. Neither Luke in ACTS of the apostles. ... He came out of water.... it was not clear whether after dropping into thecwater or after sprinkling or pouring as catholic Church depicted in statue form in many churches and on the stain glass at the Altar both Protestant and catholic churches Pastors and even theoligians are playing with the word Baptism in Greek interpretation as dipping into so on so forth..... But scripture.is not confirming or ascertain that in his statement. Recently I had a conversation with a research scholar and pastor.He said In the early version bof the gospel. The second part of the verse Matthew 28-19 in the name of the father son and HolySpirit baptise...is not found. That means it makes us to think that baptism is not Paramount for conversion through it is the sign of entry into Christian faith or religion. Perhaps transformation of life is more important they might have thought so. To conclude about the mode of Baptism again I fully endorse Rev Dr. Stanley Jones The difference between sprinkling Baptism and immersion Baptism is the quantity of water used for that. He was absolutely right. Transformation in life is pivotal in Christian life. So my friends you can enlighten me more about the doctrine and mode of Baptism. Your negative or objective views are most welcome. Please give your time for this prolonged statements on the issue of Baptism With regards. Rev Jayakumar.
