Baptism
Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water i the world. Batizen Means baptize,to plunge or immerse. Plunge symbolizes the catechumen's burial into Christ's death, which he rises up by resurrection as a new creature. Vitae spiritum tuo means Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the spirit. Baptism can also e defined as the door which gives access to the other sacraments. The bath/pouring of the water is called enlightenment, because those who receive it have greater knowledge in their understanding. Baptism in God is the most amazing gift, we call it:
- Gift
- Grace
- Anointing
- Enlightenment
- Garment of immortality
- Bath of rebirth
- Seal
- Most precious gift
Through baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons and daughters of God. We become members of Christ. WE are welcomed into the church and made sharers in the mission.
