Where is sprinkling or pouring for baptism in the New Testament?

There is no precedent for sprinkling or pouring in the New Testament.The word itself (Greek - baptizo) means "to immerse, to submerge," and all NT baptisms were of the nature best described in Acts 8:38-39, wherein both the person being baptized and the person baptizing are described as going "down into the water" and coming "up out of the water."


Can just putting water on your head be a baptism?

In the NT, the word "baptize" (from the Greek baptizo) specifically means "to immerse, to submerge." When it is understood that baptism symbolizes a burial and a resurrection corresponding to Christ's own (Colossians 2:12), the necessity for full immersion can be appreciated. When a living thing dies, you can't bury it by covering only its head with dirt; likewise, sprinkling or pouring water on one's head doesn't conform to the New Testament meaning or example of baptism.
