It isn't just "mode" but also "recipient" and "meaning" of baptism that is involved as well as much more, e.g., church polity, visible/invisible church, etc. To put it dangerously in generalized form, historic covenant theology holds to more continuity between the OT and NT. Calvinistic Baptists of recent vintage have developed their own particular covenant theology which sees less continutity between the OT and NT. But for some odd reason, I suspect you are aware of the differences, yes? grin
