 The Syrian Naaman bathed seven times under the old law. But you were baptized in the name of the Trinity. You proclaimed your faith in the Father. Recall what you did, and the Son, and the Spirit. Mark the sequence of events. In proclaiming this faith, you died to the world. You rose again to God. And as though buried to sin, you were reborn to eternal life. Believe then that the water is not without effect.
