Your statement here reads that Jesus baptized, yet the post above you say no he didn't his disciples did. Please make up your mind.

It was not Jesus Himself that baptised but it was His disciples. It was in the same manner that Jesus was baptized by John.Ann M said:Your statement here reads that Jesus baptized, yet the post above you say no he didn't his disciples did. Please make up your mind.
When we understand the full significance of what baptism means, we would say NO.Bulldog said:Just a question..
DOes the BIble allow for Baptism not by full immersion?
No, baptism is about God's command and promise!Symes said:When we understand the full significance of what baptism means, we would say NO.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
This is what baptism is about. You bury someone, you fully immerse that person. A few drops of water is not good enough.
A person is put into the ground on their back, likewise in baptism they are lowered into the water on their back and rise up a new person as the text says.

Because you said:So why am I wrong in what I said?
Baptism isn't about symbolism, though one could add symbolism to it. It is not about the symbolism of Romans 6:4 it is about what Romans 6:4 actually means. Baptism seals us to Christ it seals us with his name and all his benefits.This is what baptism is about. You bury someone, you fully immerse that person. A few drops of water is not good enough.

You didn't give me a bible verse that says that. You gave me a verse that I already gave you. This verse is not talking about 'baptismal symbolism' but what actually happens through and from baptism.I gave a Bible verse to show you what is right and you have come out and said No, any reason why the Bible evrse is wrong?
