Totally unscriptural.
Do you have any scriptural examples where anyone did this?

A common sense answer. Thank you, prax.

That's what you believe... is it based on what you see in the Bible ?, or just how you imagine it in your mind?

Again, you "think" this. But I see it's based on what your trying to insert this into the scripture based on how you imagine it ... certainly not what you see in the Word.

I'm sure you understand that many false doctrines and false churches have started by people saying "I think this is what happened", concerning stuff that the Bible never said.

Jesus laid hands on women to be healed, didnt he?
What about when peter touched Tabitha after raising her from the dead?
Pastors and altar workers regularly lay hands on women in the altar when praying them through to the Holy Ghost.

So what is the issue with a man baptizing a woman?
