Baptis selam

Pencelupan, pembenaman, atau penyelaman, yang juga disebut imersi atau submersi (bahasa Latin: immersio/summersio), dalam konteks keagamaan, adalah tindakan memasukkan tubuh seseorang, baik sebagian maupun seluruhnya, ke dalam air. Cara baptis dengan pembenaman ke dalam air tersebut disebut baptis selam dan/atau baptis celup.[1][2][3][4][5] Baptis selam/celup adalah salah satu cara baptis, selain baptis tuang dan baptis percik.

Ada beberapa kelompok yang membedakan baptisan dengan pembenaman sebagian tubuh dan dengan pembenaman seluruh tubuh, dan ada pula yang tidak.[6][7][8][9]

Secara umum, baptis selam umumnya dipahami oleh beberapa orang sebagai pembaptisan dengan membenamkan seluruh tubuh di dalam air.[9][10][11][12]

Meskipun demikian, tidak sedikit juga yang menganggap baptis selam dapat terbagi menjadi baptis penuh dan baptis sebagian.[13][14][15] Namun di antara mereka, ada yang tidak merasa perlu untuk memberikan istilah khusus untuk baptis penuh dan baptis sebagian tersebut.[16][17][18][19]

Sementara itu, sebagian kecil menggunakan istilah "baptis celup" atau "imersi" untuk pembaptisan dengan membenamkan sebagian tubuh ke dalam air, mencelupkan kepala ke dalam air, atau dengan menuangkan air ke atas kepala seseorang yang berdiri di kolam baptis,[20][21][22] sedangkan istilah "baptis selam" atau "submersi" untuk pembaptisan yang mencelupkan seluruh tubuh ke dalam air.[20][21][23][24]

  7. ^ ""While much debate has focused on the varying interpretations of the forms of baptism, each form (immersion, sprinkling, or pouring) is clearly associated with the concept of cleansing and identification, which are the two integral parts of Spirit baptism. Immersion, however, depicts more clearly the symbolic aspect of baptism since its three steps—immersion (going into the water), submersion (going under the water), and emersion (coming out of the water)—more closely parallel the concept of entering into the death of Christ, experiencing the forgiveness of sins, and rising to walk in the newness of Christ's resurrected life (Rom 6:4)." – Douglas, & Tenney (eds.), New International Bible Dictionary (Zondervan 1987), p. 124
  8. ^ "According to the rules of by far the largest portion of the Christian Church the water may be used in any one of three ways: immersion, where the recipient enters bodily into the water, and where, during the action, the head is plunged either once or three times beneath the surface; affusion, where water is poured upon the head of the recipient who stands either in water or on dry ground; and aspersion, where water is sprinkled on the head or on the face.
    1. Immersion It has frequently been argued that the word baptízein invariably means 'to dip' or 'immerse' and that therefore Christian baptism must have been performed originally by immersion only, and that the other two forms, infusion and aspersion, are invalid – that there can be no real baptism unless the method of immersion be used. But the word that invariably means 'to dip' is not baptízein but báptein; baptízein has a wider signification; and its use to denote the Jewish ceremonial of pouring water on the hands (Lk. 11:38; Mk. 7:4), as has already been said, shows that it is impossible to conclude from the word itself that immersion is the only valid method of performing the rite… When immersion was used the head of the recipient was plunged thrice beneath the surface at the mention of each name of the trinity; when the mode was by affusion the same reference to the trinity was kept by pouring water thrice upon the head. The two usages that were recognized and prescribed by the beginning of the 2nd cent. may have been in use throughout the apostolic period, although definitive information is lacking." T.M.
