بپتسمہ (baptismām (Hindi spelling बपतिस्मा)

  1. (Christianity) baptism
    Synonym: اصطباغ (istibāġ)
    • The Bible, Peter 1 3:21
      یہ پانی اس بپتسمہ کی طرف اشارہ ہے جو اس وقت آپ کو نجات دلاتا ہے۔ اس سے جسم کی گندگی دور نہیں کی جاتی بلکہ بپتسمہ لیتے وقت ہم خدا سے عرض کرتے ہیں کہ وہ ہمارا ضمیر پاک صاف کردے۔ پھر یہ آپ کو یسوع مسیح کے جی اٹھنے سے نجات دلاتا ہے۔
      yah pānī us baptismā kī taraf iśārā hai jo is vaqt āp ko najāt dilātā hai. is se jism kī gandagī dūr nahī̃ kī jātī balki baptismā lete vaqt ham xudā se arz karte ha͠i ki voh hamārā zamīr pāk-sāf kar de. phir yah āp ko yesu masīh ke jī uṭhne se najāt dilātā hai.
      And that water is like baptism, which now saves you. Baptism is not the washing of dirt from the body. It is asking God for a clean conscience. It saves you because Jesus Christ was raised from death.
