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.

Why do the outer surface of a vessel containing ice cream became wet?

The outer surface of a vessel containing ice cream becomes wet due to condensation. As the ice cream inside the vessel is cold, it lowers the temperature of the air around it, causing moisture in the warmer air to cool and condense into water droplets on the surface. Additionally, if there is any melting of the ice cream, that moisture can also contribute to the wetness on the outside of the vessel.
