Baptism represents the forgiveness of sins.
The Greek ba′pti‧sma refers to the process of immersion, including submersion and emergence; it is derived from the verb ba′pto, meaning "dip." (Joh 13:26) In The Bible, "to baptize" is the same as "to immerse." In illustration of this, The Holy Bible, An Improved Edition, renders Romans 6:3, 4 as follows: "Or, are ye ignorant, that all we who were baptized (immersed) into Christ Jesus were baptized (immersed) into his death? We were buried therefore with him through our baptism (immersion) into his death." (See also Ro; ED.) The Greek Septuagint uses a form of the same word for "dip" at Exodus 12:22 and Leviticus 4:6. (See NW ftns.)
Baptism is translated from the Greek language which literally means to "immerse".
