What is the proper method of baptism according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible indicates that baptism should be performed by immersion as a symbol of Christ's death and resurrection.

The proper mode of baptism, as prescribed in Scripture, is by immersion. This is based on the symbolism of baptism reflecting the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Romans 6 explicates that we are baptized into Christ's death, and going under the water symbolizes being buried with Him. The act of coming up signifies resurrection into new life. Such immersion is grounded in the believer’s identification with Christ’s work and is the only method consistent with the vivid pictures described in the New Testament.
