Phrase baptism of fire "a soldier's first experience of battle" (1857) translates French baptême de feu; the phrase originally was ecclesiastical Greek baptisma pyros and meant "the grace of the Holy Spirit as imparted through baptism." Later it was used of martyrdom, especially by burning.

baptism：洗礼

出自《圣经》。人类的始祖亚当和夏娃因听了神蛇的话偷吃禁果犯下了罪，这个罪过从此代代相传，叫做“原罪”；各人违背上帝旨意也会犯罪，称为“本罪”。所以，凡笃信上帝的人，必须经过洗礼，洗刷原罪和本罪。洗礼时，主洗者口诵经文，受洗者注水额上或头上，也有全身浸入水中的，故洗礼也称“浸洗”。后比喻经受某种锻炼或考验。
