Out of curiosity, do either one of you know what baptism means?
baptism is the sacrament of faith in which your sins are forgiven and you receive the Holy Spirit. but something tells me this isn’t what you were looking for! :)
Baptism is a transliteration from the Greek word meaning immersion. I understand the term was used in the dyeing business, as cloth was immersed/dipped into the dye. As a Southern Baptist, I believe baptism is a symbol of what has already taken place in a person’s soul. It represents dying to the old life, being buried with Jesus and raising with Him to a new life. Of course this only makes any sense when you are baptized by immersion, but OTOH, if it’s not immersion it needs to be called something else, not baptism!
