Are we saying then that the word baptism can mean either sprinkling, pouring
or dipping? If so, why the distinction in Lev. 14:15-16. It's my
understanding that the word pour is translated from CHEO in vs. 15 and the
word dip from BAPTIZO vs. 16 and the word sprinkle from RHANTIZO - vs. 16.
(Heb. to Gk.)
