In an immersion baptism (where in the individual is buried in the water and then pulled up again) death is represented by the person being laid in or buried by the water. This can represent the death of the old person, the natural man, sin, or even the death of Christ - depending upon your personal religious beliefs. Life is represented by coming up out of the water. This can represent a new life in Christ, the resurrection of Christ, and rebirth.
