What is meant by baptism?
"Baptism" comes from the Greek word "baptizo". It literally means "to plunge under" to submerge, to immerse. In christianity baptism can get contorted depending on which denomination you're with. Infant baptism is another related question. Obviously no one is going to plunge a baby under water. Thus the baptizing of babies by sprinkling their heads with water clearly isn't baptism. Baptism is meant to be an outward action that one makes when they decide to follow Jesus. The plunging under water is to represent dying and being buried with Jesus. The coming up from the water is parallel to Jesus' being raised from the dead to life. The new christian's baptism represents washing away the old and starting fresh with a new life in Jesus.
