John 3:23 John the baptist baptized near Aenon because there was much water there. If anything other than immersion was authorized, why did John seek a place where there was much water?
Acts 8:35-39 When Philip baptized the eunuch, both he and the eunuch went “down into the water and he baptized him.” Romans 6:4 and Colossians 2:12 both refer to baptism as a “burial” in likeness of Christ death, burial, and resurrection. Anything other than immersion would not picture the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ. Ephesians 4:5 states that there is “one baptism” and therefore any other kind of baptism than what we see taking place in the Bible is sin.
