@KingOfWhiteAmerica @BowsacNoodle @thefinn @zeke @Dagnar What is more important to me as a Lutheran, what makes it baptism, is that there is water combined with the Word of God. It's still baptism if its done by pouring or even sprinkling because God is not limited by the amount of water used.

I can appreciate the rich symbolism of full immersion baptism (dying with Christ and rising again) and if a church makes that its practice then that's great. I just hope they can be flexible when it comes time to baptise someone who for whatever reason may not be able to handle full immersion.

Personally, if I had a viable body of water near my church then I'd happily baptise people via full immersion. As it stands I'm very happy with my baptismal font, which will be centre stage this Sunday since it's Baptism of the Lord.
