Immersion

For some reason this topic has been on my mind for a while I don't know why. So I decided to start studying this for a little while. This is what I came up with. Immersion represents the death and burial of Christ. When we as members of this church talk about immersion it is usually about baptism. So as I was studying it a little bit I came upon this scripture

51They are they who received the ^atestimony of Jesus, and ^bbelieved on his name and were ^cbaptized after the ^dmanner of his burial, being ^eburied in the water in his name, and this according to the commandment which he has given—

I want to focus on the part were it starts at and. So we believe on Christ. So we are baptized by someone who can do the baptism. This is after the manner of his burial as it says. So the immersion like I said before is in the manner of his burial. Why? I don't know this is the way it was set up and this is the way us as members follow it. We follow it because Christ said to.
