My wife was baptized in a lake after she came to saving faith in Jesus. Even though we were standing on dry ground there were a lot of wet eyes.
People caught up in the idea that you can mandate God to save someone by baptizing that person as a baby either worship a feeble god subject to man's desires, or are so into institutional loyalty they don't see what the Bible says.
Born Again Christians throughout history put targets on their backs by publicly stating their faith and being baptized. These people are some of the greatest witnesses in our history.
I don't understand that baptizing someone with Water and with the Spirit while saying "I baptize you in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" equates to a feeble deity as you mention.
For weren't those exact words Christ's instructions to the Apostles and Disciples in the last chapter of John?
How can you say that Christ's words are from a feeble deity?
