Bible baptism is by immersion .
There isn t a right way and a wrong way for immersing a person, but a smooth way as compared to some very crude ways of immersing. We should want the experience to be pleasant and memorable rather than remembered for all of the awkward situations that arose. Nearly all elements of the immersion are under the control of the person doing the immersing, so the proper preparations ahead of time should forestall most difficulties. We are to be good workmen for the Lord and do our work as well as possible. This includes a baptism event that is both culturally and Biblically in harmony.
