Baptizō is to dip, plunge, or immerse. The New Testament uses it for the symbolic water-baptism Jesus commands and for the deeper reality it points to: being “buried with him by baptism into death,” then raised to walk in newness of life.

Baptism is therefore a powerful sign: a public confession, a marking of identity, and a picture of the gospel itself — dying and rising with Jesus.
