I agree, I've been to the Grand Canyon and pictures do not do it justice. I fail to see what that has to do with my post.

Or the death of Jesus, mercy, grace, resurrection, new life, God's word, truth......... give me a break. The subject was baptism.

"In terms of depth below the surface, the Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 retains the world record at 12,262 metres (40,230 ft) reached in 1989 and is still the deepest artificial point on Earth." So when does the earth become hollow?

I go to a church that sprinkles and immerses. I don't believe in sprinkling, but so what? Don't be so picky.

The word baptise means to immerse. It was used of ships that sank. It symbolises death to the world and resurrection to new life, hence "burial" in water then rising up again. Just don't wait 3 days. Exactly how is irrelevant. River, pond, sea, in a church setting, swimming pool - does not matter.

If you are still not convinced, the words of Jesus are John 6: 28 & 29 Then they inquired, “What must we do to perform the works of God?” Jesus replied, “The work of God is this: to believe in the One He has sent.”

To some who trusted in their own righteousness and viewed others with contempt, He also told this parable: “Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like the other...

You know a different God from me. My God is merciful, gracious, knows that I'm a sinner through and through with no hope of doing anything righteous. My human heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. My righteousness is filthy rags. In there is no good thing. Saved by my...

Congratulations. You have just condemned yourself to hell.
