I hope I'm not digging my own grave by asking more questions, but:

7) Why allow a pastor to immerse you or sprinkle your child with water, when Christ Himself baptises? (Mat 3:11)
8) Why do many of us hold that some "gifts" of the Spirit in Acts have ceased, and yet vehemently hold to the fact that Baptism hasn't ceased? What if Acts is merely a transitionary period between Testaments? What is "more accurately" in Acts 18:25-26, and why does this precede Acts 19:3-5?
9) Why do we name our CHURCHES after some mode of Baptism, and yet Paul scarcely knew or cared who he baptised (1 Cor 1:16-17)?
10) Why are practically all verses in the Epistles "dry" verses, if I might use that term?
11) Why, if we hold that the old Testament types and shadows (including ceremonial washings) have ceased, do we then continue to baptise with water?
12) Prove that Mat 28:19 is not spiritual? Cannot this command be given in the same way as Jude 1:23 - i.e. do it through the preaching of the Word, as happened in Acts 19:3-5, no?
