 AV - Balaam 3; 3

 Balaam meaning "perhaps"

    but he was compelled by Jehovah's power to bless them. Hence
    later the Jews saw him as a most abandoned deceiver.

 907 baptizo {bap-tid'-zo}

 from a derivative of 911; TDNT - 1:529,92; verb

 AV - baptize (76), wash 2, baptist 1, baptized + 2258 1; 80

 1) to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (of vessels sunk)
 2) to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean
    with water, to wash one's self, bathe
 3) to overwhelm
 ++++
   Not to be confused with 911, bapto. The clearest example that shows
 the meaning of baptizo is a text from the Greek poet and physician
 Nicander, who lived about 200 B.C. It is a recipe for making pickles
 and is helpful because it uses both words.  Nicander says that in
 order to make a pickle, the vegetable should first be 'dipped'
 (bapto) into boiling water and then 'baptised' (baptizo) in the
 vinegar solution. Both verbs concern the immersing of vegetables in a
 solution. But the first is temporary. The second, the act of
 baptising the vegetable, produces a permanent change.
   When used in the New Testament, this word more often refers to our
 union and identification with Christ than to our water baptism. e.g.
 Mark 16:16. 'He that believes and is baptised shall be saved'.
 Christ is saying that mere intellectual assent is not enough.  There
 must be a union with him, a real change, like the vegetable to the
 pickle!

 908 baptisma {bap'-tis-mah}

 from 907; TDNT - 1:545,92; n n

 AV - baptism 22; 22

 1) immersion, submersion
    1a) of calamities and afflictions with which one is quite overwhelmed
    1b) of John's baptism, that purification rite by which men on
        confessing their sins were bound to spiritual reformation,
        obtained the pardon of their past sins and became qualified
        for the benefits of the Messiah's kingdom soon to be set up.
        This was valid Christian baptism, as this was the only baptism
        the apostles received and it is not recorded anywhere that
        they were ever rebaptised after Pentecost.
    1c) of Christian baptism; a rite of immersion in water as
        commanded by Christ, by which one after confessing his sins
        and professing his faith in Christ, having been born again by
        the Holy Spirit unto a new life, identifies publicly with the
        fellowship of Christ and the church.
 ++++
 In Rom. 6:3 Paul states we are "baptised unto death" meaning that we
 are not only dead to our former ways, but they are buried. To return
 to them is as unthinkable for a Christian as for one to dig up a dead
 corpse! In Moslem countries a new believer has little trouble with
 Moslems until he is publicly baptised. It is then, that the Moslems'
 know he means business, and then the persecution starts.  See also
 discussion of baptism under No.  907.
