How do we know baptism by immersion is true?

Answered in 1 source

Baptism by immersion is rooted in Scripture, where the term 'baptizo' means to dip or immerse (Romans 6:4).

The doctrine of baptism by immersion is firmly established through the meaning of the Greek word 'baptizo', which literally translates to dip or immerse. Historical practices of the early church further support this understanding, as documented by early church fathers who noted the practice of immersion. Romans 6:4 illustrates that baptism symbolizes being buried with Christ, a metaphor that inherently requires full immersion to represent burial appropriately. Additionally, the consistent practice of the early Christians involved dipping, affirming that sprinkling, introduced later, does not align with the original meaning or intent of baptism.
