Can anyone give a solid example where "Baptizo" MUST mean sprinkle/pour in the Bible?? Or is sprinkle/pour merely a possibility in some passages??

I've never even heard of it being a possibility.

Paedobaptists point to the sprinkling and pouring rituals/cleansings in the Torah, then import those practices into the N.T. rite of Baptism.

They also find "evidence" from extra-Biblical Greek sources that would suggest a historical meaning other than immerse/submerge for "Baptizo."

On top of that, they would point to the children of Israel passing through the Red Sea & under the cloud as a form of "sprinkling" baptism, as well as other passages in scripture.

The Orthodox practice paedobaptism by immersion.
