Re: Baptism discussion
I believe the freedom of choice is God's greatest gift to mankind and also the greatest curse. With sin and temptation present the right to choose can lead one to a stray path away from god. But the right to choose means that when you choose the correct path you do it of your own will and merit.
What greater joy could a parent have then to see their child succeed on their own based on what they taught them?
Being forced to do something good makes that something worthless. If you were forced to do it then it is very likely you didn't do it because it was what you wanted or just because it was the right thing to do.
All that said is why I believe full submersion is the way to go because I believe baptism is something each individual has got to want for themselves.
