I don't think mode really matters and I hold that my baptism was valid as obedience to Christ's command, but I disagree with the liturgy that was spoken over my baptism and the assumption that I had no regenerative faith until my head was wet. Therefore, I will submit to baptism by immersion as a profession of my faith and as entrance into the body of Christ via the SBC.

Brandon,

It appears that you've got your mind made up on this issue so I'm not sure any of the replies you've received in this thread have altered that one bit. I'd like to add just one simple final thought. The mode is not really the issue is it? The issue is summed up in your bio stating that you are “a liturgically reformed catholic trapped in a Baptist's Body”. I’m not sure what that is but the bottom line is you want to be a Baptist.

You've been told that by being re-baptized you will conform to a church’s tradition not a Scriptural mandate. The Baptists have raised this issue above the Word of God and have set themselves apart from the rest of Christ’s Church due to their position on this issue. If you want to be a minister in that tradition then you have no choice but to conform to the Baptist mode of immersion. Since it appears you’ve decided to do this I’d just like to recommend that you look for a Reformed Baptist church because it embraces a Reformed perspective while holding to their sacred cow credobaptism by immersion.

Blessings!
