This document discusses the biblical support for total immersion baptism. It argues that total immersion baptism is required for salvation based on passages like Mark 16:15-16. The document asserts that total immersion baptism involves being crucified, buried and resurrected with Christ, and washes away sins based on passages such as Romans 6:3-4 and Acts 22:16. Finally, it claims that babies were not baptized in the early church and that re-baptism was practiced for those who had not heard of the Holy Spirit based on Acts 8:12 and Acts 19:1-4.
