Believer's Baptism (Introduction)

The term Baptism is transliterated from the Greek word βαπτίζω (baptizo) which means "to dip" or "to immerse." Virtually every lexicographer concurs even though many are not of the Baptist persuasion. The preponderance of the usage of the word baptizo tells us that the mode of baptism is immersion.

Baptism is a New Testament ordinance wherein a believer is immersed upon their profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and it symbolizes the believer's identification, and union with Christ and fellow believers, the death and burial of the old way of life, the walking in newness of life, and the anticipation of a glorious ressurection.
