Are you equating water with Blood? The Bible never does. But if the Bible ever did equate water with Blood, then IMMERSION in water would be the better mode of baptism, would it not?

No, I was simply asking you a question, a question you have not yet answered.

God has washed us in the Blood of Jesus Christ. It is appropriated by faith in the sufficiency of Christ's Atonement. Being washed in Christ's Blood is not a thing that can be accomplished in any ordinance (Catholics would say "sacrament") that can be performed by the hands of sinful (meaning ANY) man. For by GRACE are we saved by FAITH, and that not of ourselves, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. (see Ephesians 2:8-10)
