I have read recently of how it was reported that there had been cases in the church of the late Roman period where men being baptised did so with their right hands raised out of the water so that their sword hand would remain unbaptised, allowing them (by some twisted logic) to continue as soldiers. Well, I wonder whether there is a lot of truth in this late capitalist version (save that it should perhaps be a credit card)?
Of course, if we held that as some kind of doctrine, what would it say about baptism by aspersion?
