What is the meaning of baptism in the New Testament?

Answered in 1 source

In the New Testament, baptism primarily means to immerse, symbolizing a believer's identification with Jesus.

The word 'baptize' in the New Testament denotes the action of immersing, which illustrates the act of placing a believer into water as a symbolism of their identification with Christ. This immersion signifies not just a ritual, but a profound spiritual truth of being united with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. As seen in Scriptures such as 1 Corinthians 10:2, the term is used in various contexts, but the act of believer's baptism specifically embodies the profound truth of personal faith and public confession.
