8. WHAT IS THE MEANING OF

Originates from a Greek word “bapto
that means “To plunge or to immerse
(ie. To go under)”
Introduced in Jewish culture as
ceremonial washing of hands (before a
meal) or immersion (with sprinkling of
blood) for purification. [1]
Later used by Jews for Gentiles, as
ritual bath while converting to Judaism.

9. JEWISH CONVERSION
A Gentile converting to a
Jew had to go through:
 Baptism
 Circumcision (more
important, called a
seal [4])
 Offer a sacrifice
(Korban) in a temple
Even children (of
converted parents) could
be baptized, but had to
reconfirm their faith as an
adult.[2][3]

10. SIGNIFICANCE OF
BAPTISM
The bath was an outward
sign that the people were
dying to the old life and were
being resurrected to the new
life.

11. SIGNIFICANCE TODAY
Baptism is a testimony to the world
on a person’s:
 Identification and commitment to
Christ.
Cleansing from sin and renewal in
Christ.
Death to sin (Romans 6:3) and
rising to walk in newness of life
(Romans 6:4)

12. BAPTISM IN NEW
TESTAMENT
After Jesus’ baptism and command to
be baptized, baptism was the practice
introduced in the Christian church:
 For a child, with confirmation at
adulthood [2][3]
or
 For an adult (with our without)
dedication at childhood.

13. THE BAPTISM OF
JESUS
13 Then Jesus arrived ..at the
Jordan coming to John, to be
baptized by him. 14 But John tried
to prevent Him, saying, “I have
need to be…?” 15 But Jesus
answering said to him, “Permit it ..
for in this way it is fitting for us to
fulfill all righteousness.” Matt 3:13-
17

14. THE BAPTISM OF
JESUS (CONT’D)
.. 16 After being baptized.. behold,
the heavens were opened, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending
as a dove and lighting on Him, 17
and behold, a voice out of the
heavens said, “This is My beloved
Son, in whom I am well-pleased.”
Matt 3:13-17

15. WHY DID JESUS GET
BAPTIZED?
Jesus was:
• Obedient to God’s commandment.
• Sinless and needed no repentance.
• Baptized to fulfill all righteousness.
• Acknowledged by God as His Son.
