How does Cherry Hills view the method of baptism?
The biblical references to baptism do not demand a particular method of “washing” or “washing over.” Throughout church history, the three accepted methods of baptism have been immersion, dipping and sprinkling. All three of these methods are consistent with the meanings of the word “baptize.” The value of the sacrament of baptism is in the life and heart of the believer, not in the amount of water used. We believe that the method is a minor issue and therefore leave that decision to the individual. For many older children and adults, immersion is preferred simply because the whole body experience more substantially expresses the symbolism of death and resurrection in Christ.
