What does baptism symbolize for believers?

Answered in 2 sources

Baptism symbolizes a believer's identification with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection, signifying new life and commitment.

Baptism acts as a profound symbol of a believer's identification with Jesus Christ. It represents an individual's union with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection, as articulated in Romans 6. When a believer is immersed in water, it symbolizes being buried with Christ in His death, while coming out of the water signifies rising to new life, just as Christ was resurrected. This ordinance publicly affirms the believer's past sins have been dealt with through Christ, and it marks their commitment to living in accordance with their faith. It is a powerful declaration that they have been made new and are committed to following Christ in their lives.
