Law of Christ Replaces Law of Moses
The Law of Christ replaced the Law of Moses. With a change of priesthood came a change of law. The law of Christ is the law of faith to the end. Faith is a gift of God. The gospel power convicts the chosen of sin and places them under the New Law of Christ.
The elect are justified by faith in Christ, not by works of the law. Roman's 3:28

1 Cor 9:20-21: To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews.(A) To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law),(B) so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law.
Galatians 6:2: Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
James 2:10: Whoever keeps the whole law yet stumbles at one point is guilty of violating the entire law.
James 2:10: Whoever keeps the whole law yet stumbles at one point is guilty of violating the entire law.
James 2:12-13: Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom,because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
Hebrews 7:11-12: 11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron? 12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also.
The Lutherans and Protestants still believe in keeping at least part of the law of Moses. The reason is they could never see the law of Christ in the scriptures. The First Baptist Confession of 1646 authors did see the law of Christ. See section IV (9).

Sabbath:
New Covenant Sabbath is Christ not a day!
Heb 4:1-3 (NIV):
1
Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.
2
For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. [1]
3
Now we who have believed enter that rest, just as God has said, "So I declared on oath in my anger, `They shall never enter my rest.'" [2] And yet his work has been finished since the creation of the world.

So briefly an admonition shared to me against those who would resurrect the law of Moses:
Gary here:Those sick and those constrained by lack of access to full immersion can be baptized by pouring or even sprinkling. However, imo those should only be used as a last resort based on circumstance.
Baptism can be in the name of Jesus as Peter said, or in the name of the Father, Son and Spirit as Jesus said.
