For me, every time I take communion, it is a re-baptism of Spirit.

Sorry, I cannot help you friend. Re-baptism from a Mass ?

How can a Mass communion re-baptism someone who is a faithful believer: If a Mass communion re-baptizes, then it logically follows that it also crucifies again afresh (again).

As is recorded in Hebrews 6:6 “seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh (via the Mass), and put him to an open shame...

The offering of the body of Jesus Christ was once for all time: Hebrews 10:10

Hebrews 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Today, some priests continue to offer daily offerings:

Hebrews 10:11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

I'm happy to be sanctified once for all by the finished work of Christ on the cross.

Now consider Hebrews in context:

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
