The Baptist believe in complete submersion, They have a " tub" at the front of the sanctuary that they fill with water and the preacher "dunks" the individual under water.

I did this as well a number of years ago. My uncle was the pastor and we did it at the beach. It was a great day and one I will always remember.

Well done Jeff!!!

I would like to point out, being a Baptist, that Baptists don't believe that baptism does anything for you with respects to salvation or remission of sin. It is a public statement of being recognized with Jesus Christ through symbolically being dead, buried and risen again through baptism.

Jeff is unavailable to get online at this time. He said to say hello to everyone and thank everyone for their words and thoughts. I'm sure he'll update the rest when he can get back to us.
