Best Answer

It's a term meaning being baptised in water. Being baptised is also called going into the liquid grave because it symbolizes dying and then being rose up in the day of ressurection or when Jesus comes back to Earth to gather up his children. Baptismal water can also be poured or sprinkled, in which case the symbolism is of washing. There is a debate between Christians as to which of the methods is the Biblical one.
