Post by: ollie on August 18, 2004, 05:21:36 PM Finding cups and jugs to pour water would not necessarily be evidence of John or his baptism as the bible gives no indication that John poured or sprinkled the water, but more likely the Bible implies John's baptism is immersion in water. The very word baptism means immersion.
