Baptism is a physical act, usually involving immersion, as the Greek word baptismameans “to plunge” or “to immerse.” It always involves water—a physical expression of a spiritual reality. While immersion is the most common practice, the church has historically used other methods, such as sprinkling, which symbolizes God’s promise in Ezekiel 36 to sprinkle clean water and give new hearts. Pouring has also been used, reflecting the pouring out of the Spirit and God’s cleansing power.
