Being immersed in water and then being raised up symbolizes that he dies to his former self - seeking course of life and is raised to a new way of life, that of doing God’s will.
Inimese vee alla kastmine sümboliseerib seda, et ta sureb oma endisele enesekesksele eluviisile ja ta tõstetakse üles alustama uut eluviisi, mis seisneb Jumala tahte täitmises.
