Some baptisms just involve pouring a little water on someone's head or sprinkling them with water. We're you baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit?
Am I right in assuming that both you and your parents know the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour? If you are, (and you were already a Christian when you were baptized) then providing there was a good reason for being baptized at home in the bath rather than in the context of your church, I see no problem. You weren't deliberately refusing immersion, were you?
Both my parents believe in Jesus, and I wasn't refusing immersion. Part of my family just converted to the Baptist faith, so I just decided to I guess get baptized by my parents. I attend a Baptist church online but the rest of my family live too far away to go to their church so my parents and me decided to have it done at home in the bathtub we were thinking of being immersed at an evangelical church but didn't think that was the right idea because I have social anxiety and they would do it in front of a big crowd so we decided to do it at home. I'm kind of new to this whole Baptist thing. I'm not completely sure if my knees were or weren't under the water and my parents don't remember either so we just presumed I was immersed.
In that case, then providing you as well as your parents are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I see no problem with your knees being un-immersed. I am tall, and when the pastor baptized me, he thought it best to get me to kneel down in the baptistry and plunge me forward.
I wonder why you and your mum decided to baptise each other, rather than getting baptised in the context of your church.
Yes, thanks. It was only after posting on this thread that I saw your post on another thread explaining your bad anxiety. I replied there: "Ah, that answers a question I have just asked you on another thread, asking you why you and your mum chose to baptise each other."
