BECAUSE JESUS WAS BAPTIZED THAT WAY
“As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water.” Matt. 3:16
Every Baptism in the Bible was by immersion.
(Example) ” … then both Philip and the man went down into the water and Philip baptized him. When they came up out of the water…” Acts 8:38-39
The word “baptize” actually means “to water”.
IMMERSION BEST SYMBOLIZES A DEATH AND RESURRECTION!
“When someone becomes a Christian he becomes a brand new person inside. The old life has passed away and a new life has begun!” 2 Cor. 5:17
