I trust this. I hope you are right in your understanding for the sake of the teachers and the person getting poured. The church is not built on convenience, but on sacrifice. Jesus' eternal sacrifice and us being a living sacrifice. Immersion isn't a preference for me it is the instructions given to me in the word of God. If there is one place where "the Church" sprinkled or poured in scripture then I would love to read it.
