Lesson 20 of 43.

Make arrangements with your priest a week before the baby's Baptism.

This material is out of date. The Catholic Church now requires that both parents and godparents attend instruction before the Baptism of the child.

[Texas Eagle]

Baptism is the Sacrament which makes you a Christian and a member of the Catholic Church and gives you the right to receive the other Sacraments.

Oh??? Gee. I've read your scripture reference several times and I don't see one word about The Catholic Church.

You people might want to repent. Repent from adding to God's Word in direct violation oh His commands.

**If your were baptized in a Protestant church, you will probably still have to go through the Catholic ceremony of Baptism. This is called conditional Baptism. **

And what about in the case of someone who died, and desperately, in fact, had made several steps toward, wanting to be a Catholic?

I know we get into another area that really isn’t covered in this article, “A Baptism of Desire.”

The texts I read do not say 'must be born again of water. Is this Douay Rheims translation the special version of the Catholic Church? ... Sorry to focus upon so fine a point but it does make a huge difference in the meaning of what Jesus taught regarding born of the Spirit.
