[...] Why do you think getting dunked in water is important? What happens when you are dunked in the water? What happens if you are never dunked in the water? What is baptism for, actually? What does baptism in water symbolize? Are there 'salvific' properties in the water or the ritual? If so, what are the properties? Are certain words required for the baptism? If so, which words are required, and why? Who has authority to do baptism? How does one get the authority to do a baptism? How can you prove someone is authorized to baptize? What is the source of said authority? What does water baptism do for the baptized subject? -- Nightbulb | https://blog.nightbulb.net | Flip the night switch.
