Types of Baptism
Katie Hansche & Michael Maestri
- Comes from Latin "affusio"- to pour on
- First started to be widely used in 10th century
- Pouring of water on the head
- No wide-spread use in ancient times, unless recipient was very ill, near death, etc.
- Now it is more widely used in Christian denominations that practice infant baptism.
- From Latin "sub"- under, "merege"- plunge
- Completely going under in the Holy Water
- Anciently used in early Christianity to symbolize the complete and physical cleansing of original sin. The full submersion was important to the Jews being converted because it symbolized the crossing of the Jordan.
- Not widely used in the western world, but still commonly used in Eastern Orthodox and some special Roman Catholic rites (Roman and Ambrosian in the Diocese of Rome).
- in Eastern Orthodox, one is dunked 3 times
Immersion
- From Latin "in"- into, "mergere"- dip
- Could be partial, or full-immersion (which would be submersion)
- Very widely used in ancient times
- Used in Eastern Orthodox Church as only accepted method of baptism (besides full immersion)

Aspersion
- Word comes from Latin "aspergere," to sprinkle
- Sprinkling water onto baptize: used before as last resort for dying people, or ill people who couldn't be dunked, but now widely used technique for infants, etc.
- Aspersion is also used at other ceremonies such as the Easter Vigil to renew baptismal rites.
