The same as it does for non-Calvinists. Calvinism is not a religion, it is a theology within Christianity that is embraced by many different denominations. Baptism for a Calvinist is a public declaration and a symbol, of repentance (dying to one's sinful flesh) and being born again to a new life in Christ Jesus.
You die to sin and rise to new life of grace with Christ in all the sacraments beginning with Baptism.
I've only heard the dying and rising of Jesus Christ called the crucifixion and resurrection
Baptism is like the outward symbol of your faith in Christ, when you get tipped back in the water its like you are dying as Christ did and all your sin is washed away, when you are bought out of the water its showing you as a risen Living Christ and therefore you are new. Baptism is like a wedding ring, weddings are a symbol of Love between two people. hope this helps?
Well, God created baptism this way. The symbol is meant to show the drowning to yourself and living for Jesus Christ. Let me explain that a little. Whether the pastor who baptizes you just puts water on your forehead, or whether you are immersed (which is what I was), it is a sign on drowning and dying to yourself and receiving the Holy Spirit and living for Jesus Christ. I hope that makes sense!
Dionysus is a "dying and rising god." His symbols are multivalent and numerous. He is associated primarily with the vine and wine, the bull, and the serpent. Green is the color sacred to him, and the Ouroboros (symbol of the serpent eating its own tail) is often used in depictions of Dionysus (due to the cyclic nature of his theogyny).
According to the Bible, he didn't leave any remains, because he's not dead. After dying and rising again, he was translated bodily into heaven.

Every Catholic should know how to administer the sacrament of baptism in an emergency if someone is dying and has not previously been baptised. In the normal course of events, it is impossible to enter heaven without baptism.
Yes, Baptism is by definition "emersion" in water. It symbolizes dying to sin and being "reborn" as a new person, having left behind the sinful things of the world. It also celebrates Jesus' death and resurection and serves are a reminder that those who believe will die, but also rise again in victory.
