In baptism the rebirth is depicted and therefore baptism in water is called the bath of rebirth Titus 3: 5; Acts 26:18 It used: life in the world, which is far from God (represented by the water) now: from the water, so from the darkness into the light, from Satans power in the hands of God. Water baptism portrays burial and resurrection. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! Colossians 2:12-13 [Thus you were circumcised when] you were buried with Him in [your] baptism, in which you were also raised with Him [to a new life] through [your] faith in the working of God [as displayed] when He raised Him up from the dead. And you who were dead in trespasses and in the uncircumcision of your flesh (your sensuality, your sinful carnal nature), [God] brought to life together with [Christ], having [freely] forgiven us all our transgressions, We buried the old man and stand up from the water grave. As Jesus by His resurrection from the dead declared to be the Son of God. We are baptized into the flesh is our sinful nature, and by the Spirit as we go now live. 1 Peter 4: 1-2, Romans 6:4 We then completely renovated, walking in faith what Jesus has given us
