Literally baptism is the ceremony in which people are dunked or sprinkled with water to
symbolically wash their sin away and allow them to be "born again" into a new way of life.
Figuratively, it means the introduction of a new experience such as the baptism of fire for a
new soldier- a rite of passage into a new kind of existence.
