The History of Sprinkling

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Sprinkling as practiced in these days has no foundation whatever in the Bible. Its advo cates have read the Scriptures to little purpose when they think their work is upheld therein. If what they practice now had been attempted when the Scriptures on the subject were being written, they would have been put to death for daring to treat God's law with so little care, and such great disrespect. It is also worthy of re mark that there has never been any change in God's law on this question since it was enacted. Hence it must be practiced now just as it was at first or else it is done away, and not to be practiced at all. In olden times every detail, however small, had to be carefully noticed and rigidly kept, else the law of which it was a part was not kept. Hence, when the advocates of sprinkling now appeal to the Bible, they must show that their practice is what is taught there, or else their appeal Is vain.
