Meaning of baptism

Baptism is the practice of the Christian church; it is the dipping into the water completely (immersion) or more usually the pouring of water by the priest on the person who is receiving baptism.

This is a sign of washing away of sins and shows that the person has become a member of the church, which makes the transition into a new kingdom.
