Baptism is the outward ritual to represent a greater truth. Your afterbirth is what you've carried with you. I believe it is merely an outward ritual to show a sincere attempt to either raise a child to be righteous or personal desire of an older individual to be righteous. Don't ask for a link...i'm just making this up as I go. |

Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith in the working of God, who hath raised him from the dead. - Colossians 2:12 It is that Spirit that works with us to restore our fallen will. When we were once deceived in the darkness of the false will of violations, we are washed with the Word of Truth and slowly rectified. Baptism is but the first outer physical sign that we are dying to the former physical word (the flesh), and being raised up to go to new heavens and new earth (even while on earth). Baptism of water is a beginning. But there is also a baptism by fire. Glory be to God in the high heauens, and peace in earth, and towards men good will. - Luke 2:14 (Geneva Bible, 1560) Can't make it to church? Out on the road? Join us for church live on Ustream.

The closer I've been getting to my baptism the more I realize just how deceived I've been all this time.... Revelations are unraveling to me. I can't wait to begin this process. I just want the bad me to die already. |
