Amen! Baptism in water is symbolic of new life in Christ when our sins were washed away! 'Buried with Christ' and raised with Him too. What is there left for me to do? Simply to cease from struggling and strife,simply to 'walk in newness of life' (T Ryder)
When people say symbol, God does not look at water baptism that way. Being risen with Christ is the new birth: born from the dead. Begotten of God by his resurrection. And so it is fulfilled in the scripture in regards to the resurrection of Christ and those that are raised with him, as God said, this day have I begotten thee.
