Seems to me that it [The Didache] is a pretty good example of what the practice and belief was of the early Church. The Didache hardly goes into the theological implications or wrestles with the purpose of baptism. It only gives instructions as to how baptism should be carried out. BTW, the Didache implies immersion baptism and, only on rare occasions, sprinkling. Does the Orthodox immerse? From your response the Syrian Orthodox must.
