Where is the scripture that says it must be done by full immersion? There is no protocol outlined.

Where is the scripture that says it must be done by full immersion? There is no protocol outlined.

As I've heard it, "baptism" is a word that, for whatever reason, was not translated during the translation. If it had been translated instead of transliterated, the translation would be "immersion."

So, what you're asking is sort of like asking, "Where is the Scripture that says 'repent' means to turn away from sin?"
