How do we know immersion is the correct way to baptize?

Answered in 1 source

Biblical accounts emphasize immersion as the method of baptism, aligning with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.

The scriptural basis for immersion comes from narratives in the Bible which describe baptism taking place in bodies of water. For example, in Acts 8, Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch go down into the water to perform the baptism, indicating that full immersion was the understood practice. The act of immersing a believer in water symbolizes the complete identification with Christ's death and resurrection, as emphasized in Romans 6:3-4. This immersion is not just a method but a theological statement about the believer's transformed identity in Christ.
