As you know in the Christian
religion, baptism is a ritual of immersing the new member in water representing forgiveness and
the washing away of their sins. In the Bible, John the Baptist was performing baptisms preparing
the way for Jesus or a new mindset. To signify that baptism was necessary for all and to set an
example for his followers, Jesus was also baptized.
Today, in
most of the Christian churches, baptism is a necessity to become a member. It is an indication
that you are confessing, repenting or giving up your sins for a new life. It is believed that
when you get baptized, you are considered saved from going to Hell. Therefore, many people get
baptized because of the fear of eternal damnation. They believe that baptism is the key to going
to Heaven.
In truth,
the ritual of baptism does not have the power to wash away or save you from sin. Furthermore,
programmed religious doctrine since childhood, instills a fear that usually keeps many
Christians from believing this truth about baptism.
"For by one Spirit are we all baptised into the body, whether we be Jews or
Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into the one
Spirit." [1 Corinthians 12:13]
 From a spiritual perspective, baptism has little or nothing
to do with religion. The story of John the Baptist and Jesus has a nonreligious, spiritual message to get people to repent or change their
minds about beliefs that are limiting and destructive to a more abundant life. By engaging in
clearing and cleansing all of the lower energy religious dogma from your mind, you can grow
beyond any mental, emotional, physical and financial challenges.
Spiritual
baptism is an awakening; it is a process that applies to all people, races and nationalities
that are seeking a higher awareness of God for a joyous and fulfilling life. Believe it or not,
as you begin the process of being baptized or undoing all of the lower energy beliefs (sin) and
unleashing your higher positive energy beliefs, you will literally be saved. The mental,
emotional, physical and financial challenges of ego will gradually die.
The more
you seek the truth or removal of the faulty dogmatic programming that causes lack, fear,
limitation or negativity, the more joy, happiness and success the divine spirit will orchestrate
for you.
Are you
