Baptism is symbolic of the burial of our ‘old man’ and the coming to life of the ‘new man.’ When a man is immersed into water he is testifying that his old, sinful way of life is dead and is fit to be buried, and when he comes out of the water he signifies that he is now a new man with the life of Christ in him (Ro.6:3,4). By going through this act he is signifying that from then onwards he wants to live with a clear conscience before God (1Pe.3:21).
