According to the examples in The Bible, a true Christian baptism consists of being fully emerged into water and then brought back up. (Matthew 3:16; Acts 8:38) The person getting baptized should have sufficient knowledge of Jehovah God, His purposes, and be willing to abide by His principles over our own, a.k.a. making a dedication to Him. They're also to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, according to the command Jesus gave to his disciples. (Matthew 28:19-20)
(New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures)
