Baptism today is into the community of saints and sinners and since saints are in heaven where tempels are not you will be invited to congregate with sinners who are trying to present themselves as Christians . . . which really is like a wolf that they are feeding with an appetite bigger than they can ever satisfy.

Baptism at the age of reason is to make a conscious commitment whereupon one is accepted into the community of believers who call themselves Christians while they are sinners and can/will mortify their enire life to overcome this contradiction. The sinless life belongs to Christians who have been set free from religion and the law whereby one is convicted of sin. So the wolf here is that the harder we try the more diffcult it gets much like trying to lift the very stone that we are standing on. |
