Question

The rejection of less conventional examples of this action led Feeneyism to be declared heretical. One (20[1])performance of this action inspired the use of the word yardna in Mandaeism. Dismas is often cited as an example of a Biblical (20[1])figure undergoing one form of this action (20[1]0[1])"of desire," (20[4]0[1])while (20[1]0[1])another (20[3])form (20[1])"of blood" (20[1])was (20[2])espoused (0[1])by (20[1])Cyprian (20[1])of Carthage. The use (20[1])of the (20[1])(*) Trinitarian formula in this practice comes from Jesus ordering its performance in the Great (0[1])Commission. (0[2])A sect that stresses the importance of conscious (10[1])belief (10[2])before this sacrament (10[3])and opposes its performance on infants (10[6])is named (10[1])for (10[1])this (10[1])practice (10[2])prefixed with "Ana." (10[2])For 10 points, name this sacrament performed on Jesus in the Jordan River. (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[1])
