Cotton candy clouds
Folding over our Mountain,
Splashing about
Like a bubbling brook
Engulfed in a cool mist,
Delivering droplets
Of promises
For the year to come.
She gives hope
To dispel the heat,
To give us peace
Inside our hearts,
That the path
We have chosen
Is exactly where
We're meant to be.
Silver Table Mountain's
Love.

IS SPRINKLING THE SAME AS IMMERSION? BY STEVE FINNELL
Do sprinkling and immersion both signify water baptism? No, they do not.
EXAMPLE: Mark 16:16 "He who believes and is baptized will be saved...(NKJV)
The word baptized use in Mark 16:16 is a transliteration from Greek to English. A transliteration means, to represent (letters or words) in the corresponding characters of another alphabet.
To translate from Greek to English means to transfer the definition of the word from Greek to English.
The word baptized in Mark 16:16 is not a translated word, it is a transliteration.
If all of the words in Mark 16:16 were translated from Greek to English, it would read, "He who has believed, and has been immersed, will be saved..."
Men decided sprinkling could be a substitute for immersion if for some reason immersion was not possible or was inconvenient. It was subsequently adopted by many believers in Christ as being the equivalent of water immersion.
If men have the authority to change immersion to sprinkling, they would have the authority to change sprinkling water to sprinkling wine, sprinkling milk, sprinkling coffee or sprinkling dirt.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.(NKJV)
Matthew 15:9 And in vain do they worship Me, Teaching for doctrines the commandments of Men." (NKJV)
The translation, Mark 16:16......and has been immersed, will be saved...
The transliteration, Mark 16:16 .....and has been baptized, will be saved.....

Can you find your home?
Can you see your end?
Are you open to reality,
Or just drowning in sheer
Hopelessness?
It's the type of personal freedom
That draws
Balance
To your soul.
It calms the storm
And soothes the pain.
It pours knowledge
Into your open mind.
It brings peace
And wraps you
In the warm blankets
Of the fairytale
Dream
That you call home.
