Dr. Carson’s claim that “it always signifies to dip” is not true in classical Greek (Aristotle, Hist. Anim. v, 15). It is not true in Judaic Greek (LXX: Dan. 4:33). It is not true in New Testament Greek (Matt. 26:23; Heb. 9:10). In short, the claim of exclusivity for immersion is demonstrably not true.
