ANSWER: Since immersion is the only baptism that will save, it is imperative that a person to be baptized be taken to sufficient water as quickly as possible. God who has commanded it, has not given us something to do that is impossible!

So the question is not “can it be done,” but “how committed are we to keeping His commandments and getting it done?” During a recent stay in Zambia during the dry season, we found it necessary to dig a hole in an otherwise dry river bed to gain sufficient water for immersion. Whatever is required to be in compliance with God’s Word, must be done! There is no choice in the matter!
