Plus, the Didache is pretty clear that if there isn't sufficient water for full submersion, then pouring is just fine.Not really. If this conviction about the new covenant fails then not only does Schreiner’s view of the Sabbath fail but so does much of the Baptist argument.”Arguably two of the issues that separate confessional Reformed folk from their Baptist friends are the Sabbath and Baptism.
The Lord’s Supper does; hence baptism should also. Christians come in all shapes and sizes. The essential aspect in baptism is the symbolism of purification, not the picture of death, burial, and resurrection.Since the employment of water in any one of the three modes is capable of symbolizing this essential truth, any one is satisfactory.a. Such an expectation, of course, is flatly contrary to the explicit teaching of the NT (Eph 2).

The novelty or newness of the new covenant is measured relative to Moses, relative to the national covenant made with Israel at Sinai, and not with Abraham and the covenant promise God gave to him: I will be a God to you and to your children.

No places indicate that infants were baptized. The Scriptural meaning of baptism requires the picture of immersion. Evidence for immersion can be taken from the attending circumstances of Scriptural instances of baptism.a.
