    Part Therefore Baptism of Rebirth

    Is From Water Spirit and This

    (continued part)👇👆 Therefore, baptism of rebirth, is from Water & Spirit; and this childhood baptism is the door and the entrance to all mysteries, and it is mandatory. For those who are baptized, they need to receive the Holy Body and the Precious Blood; It means that they will receive Holy Communion for the first time on that same day. After that, they receive it every time throughout their life. There is no age limit to receive his holy body and precious blood. Because from the time when a boy became a child of God at forty days, and a girl at 80 days, they confirmed their childhood through secret baptism and sacramental communion. Therefore, from that moment on, any child of God must not stop receiving Christ's holy body and precious blood in order to live as a man before Him or to continue being a child of God. This is a never ending system. There are sacrements that are repeated and not repeated; Childhood baptism is never repeated. Of course, there are many types of baptism. There is the baptism of repentance, baptism of Keder, baptism of healing and these types of baptism are repeated; But the childhood baptism, which we have been explaining above, is only one and will never be repeated. A person is born from his mother and father once. Also, because we are born from the Trinity only once; so in the case of rebirth baptism, if we are baptized in infant baptism once and receive the sonship of the Trinity (baptism of rebirth, is from Water & Spirit) it is not repeatable. We must remember that the Mystery of Baptism (baptism of rebirth) is referred as the gate to Christianity and that it is one (Ephesus 4:4-5). It can’t be repeated. As we are born from our parents only once, we get born from Holy spirit and water (through baptism) only once. “He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:16 “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.” There are Mysteries to be repeated and not to be repeated. Mystery of Repentance and Mystry of eucharist are releated. So, we repent before we receive Holy Communion. It is impossible to receive his holy body and precious blood without being baptized upon childhood baptism from the Water and Spirt. So, there are also other sacrements, like the sacrement of confirmation, of pennance, of Holy Orders (ordination), of Matrimony, and of unction of the sick (anointing the sick). But for all these mysteries, the door is the mystery of baptism. That is why the Mystery of Baptism is referred as the gate to Christianity. May the name of the Holy God be praised forever and ever in every tongue that He has created, today and always May God's mother, the virgin, and the cross remain glorious, Amen.
