I have no idea what the nt5 is.

It should be clear what baptism of which I speak.

I presume you ask from child-like ignorance?

The one applied to believers is not for converts, as supposed.
It is only for those who are inducted as practicing disciples committed to life-long instruction.

As supposed? That doesn't compute with anything I have posted. If you “supposed” it did, but don't anymore, fine.
Oh, and converts from what to what?

The part of your post I quoted and bolded, do you have a scriptural reference?

Oh and lol@ the link from April Fools Day!

I love a sense of humor...

Neither do I, except it is a mistyped "NT" (for "New Testament") which escaped my editor/copyreader's eye. Sorry.

Wrongly supposed, in immersionist circles, that this baptism is just a rite recognizing post-salvation evidence of the "believer's" decision.

Converts claiming transition from spiritual death to spiritual life --

I gave you whole documents full of references, Scripture, and the explanations. Did you not peruse them before responding?

Your sense of humor is misplaced. One who thinks that the concept that this baptism, as a funeral rite, is a joke either has not read Romans chapter 6, or does not understand it.

Respectfully --
