Biblical Answers
to Commonly Asked Questions On Water Baptism
Question 1: What is the meaning of the word baptize?
Answer: The word baptize is a transliteration of the Greek word baptidzo (Strong’s #NT907), Which means to make overwhelmed. From the root bapto, which comes from the dying industry and means to cover wholly with fluid (see Strong’s #NT911). Thus, the image of the word baptize is to immerse in order to change colors. Of course, the blood of Jesus does just that: “though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;” (Isaiah 1:18).
