Biblical baptism is a ritual that symbolizes being crucified with Christ, putting away your old life of sin, and being raised with Christ into newness of life, walking with Him. Its done as an outward public sign of your acceptance of Christ.Originally Posted by babygurl
BTW, baptism by sprinkling or of babies is not Biblical. Thats an adaptation of pagan practice.
There may be other definitions from other sources/religions.
I dont want to get in any kind of arguement over religion with you, but WOW Baptism symbolizes what Jesus went through?!!?!?!? Man I dont even want to get into this...Originally Posted by metalman

I think you may have misunderstood that...at least in part, baptism symbolizes death of the "old" man (life of sin) and being "raised" into newness of life, the Christian walk with Christ.Originally Posted by AtifSajid
Death and ressurection are part of it in a symbolic sense.
I am speaking of Biblical baptism here....there may be other types.
Yes and No, it solely depends on the denomination (or even religion). You seem to be speaking of baptism as an immersion [as baptist churches do]. I'm going to quote this because i'm too lazy to think for myself today, " person baptized by immersion is enclosed under the water and brought out, to signify cleansing through death and burial with Christ, and consequent raising again in newness of life by the Holy Spirit."Originally Posted by metalman
What is your denomination or is there one you follow more than another? It sounds like you're antipaedobaptist, against aspersion and other forms of baptism outside of immersion...
That would be Biblical baptism. There is only one Bible, which has one form and description of baptism. Some follow that, some dont, regardless of denomination.Originally Posted by speedminded
