Why do English speaking people think baptize means immerse?

Question

the verb baptizo means to dip, wash, pour, or immerse

Answer 1

you answered your greek question, what should i do?

Answer 2

Baptism is essential in God's plan, otherwise there would have been no need for Christ, who was perfect, to be baptized. You don't need to be baptized again. But I would suggest searching the scriptures about baptism and what it means. I would pray for an understanding about baptism and for a testimony that your baptism was the right thing. You can gain a testimony about your decision when you were young and appreciate the fact that you were baptized. Hopefully, you were baptized by someone who Project Vetta described.

Answer 3

Definition: The word “baptize” comes from the Greek ba·pti′zein, meaning “to dip, to plunge.” (A Greek-English Lexicon, by Liddell and Scott) Christian water baptism is an outward symbol that the one being baptized has made a complete, unreserved, and unconditional dedication through Jesus Christ to do the will of Jehovah God. The Scriptures also refer to John’s baptism, baptism with holy spirit, and baptism with fire, among others.
