Immerse Yourself
In Bible days, people immersed themselves. It was the person who was stepping in the water to immerse themselves in order to arise clean. There would be an assistant there to help make sure the hair also got under the water. But the Assistant did not baptize the person. This was a personal moment.
Mikvah. This is what was made for people to cleanse themselves.
After Pentecost, every baptism in the book of Acts, was in the name (identity and character) of Lord Jesus Christ.. or, the personal revelation that Elohim had dwelt in the created human named Yeshua. NO ONE believed in three gods, three persons, or trinity versions. No one.
Everything was Hebrew. You would never convince a Hebrew, with a OneGod history from Adam to Pentecost, that Yeshua was another person, or that God Himself was a person. They knew the OneGod was Spirit, unseeable to humans, unfathomable to humans.
A Priest or Minister is really not the one to baptize a person. Like John the Baptist they can be there reminding you what you are doing. But the person immerses themselves from their old way of thinking, to the new way. It is very personal between the person and God. Likewise it will be God leading them afterwards once the Teacher, God, immerses them in Himself, which is what happened on the day of Pentecost.
Scripturally, anyone can assist in a baptism. They can speak truth, or whatever, but they person could say, "Lord, I immerse myself completely, washing away my ideas and now letting you guide me and teach me. I believe the OneGod Elohim Father stepped into a flesh man named Yeshua and that that same Elohim wants to be with and in me. I believe that is your name, your character, who you are. As a human I declare your human name is Elohim Yeshua Anointed."
Then the person goes underwater on their own for a long as they want. They arise to their new journey.
And God will give them Ephesians 4:11-16 to help them along their way.
This is what I believe.. comma,
