In 2 Thessalonians 2: 11-12 states, “For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness” (2 Thessalonians 2: 11-12, NIV).

Baptist and many similar churches consider the only binding method to baptize is by immersing the person in water.
