Can you share with us ONE instance in the Bible where the Holy Spirit came into a person's spirit before they believed in the One Whom God has sent for our redemption? The two most promeinent scenes of when the Holy Spirit enters a man or woman are the intial conversion of thousands of Jews listening to Peter preach the Grace of God in Christ, and again where Peter is preachignt he Grace of God in Christ in the House of Cornelius.

Claiming that Catholic baptism causes an infant to receive the Holy Spirit is a huge assertion. Can you prove it through the same Scriptures you are claiming Catholicism interprets?

As an old Belgian monk once taught us, God loves the family, which He created, so much that He allows the family to participate in the bringing into existence out of nothingness the human; both body and soul. This is a profound mystery. God is the Creator, and we participate in His creating.

Similarly, the family is given the greatest gift in that God allows the parents to participate in His gift-giving with regard to the gift of Faith.
