Hog Wash!
Another reality for you to consider… your quote above is not compatible with what you said in a previous post that “Christ is the Church, the Word of God”… as this continues to point out your erroneous method of being your own pope (final interpreter of God’s word).
It’s truly sad that someone who says they love Christ has so fouled the truth about Christ with their own wishes and ill conceived notions.
The Blood of Christ saves. Christ imparts this salvation to our souls through the sacrament of Baptism. He chose to impart it to us in this manner. We obey His command. Baptism regenerates us spiritually because of this very fact.
In reference to your post 143, and others, please be decent enough to post properly here. You tend not to post properly, and post 143 is just one step worse than normal in that your falsehoods cannot be quoted by linking back to them. For instance, in 143, you put quotes inside my quotes and left nothing in the actual posting block, and no links available to the “quote of yourself”. One has to be creative in making some reference in response.
You are claiming that the Lord is manifesting Himself to you, and teaching you things that oppose the Church He built, and oppose what the Holy Spirit has taught and protected for almost 2,000 years.
Satan appears as a spirit of light, and fools many. Mohammad was fooled by his spirit guide and created his own distortion of Christianity as well.
I think you need serious help here. Please don’t let the spirit of evil draw you away from Christ.:tsktsk: I’ll pray for you. 
What you need most is exactly what Satan wants to keep you from, namely God’s One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church!:extrahappy:You call what I preach as erroneous, but yet not one of you have debunked it.
Yet, none of these refutes the Catholic teaching and practice of Baptism. Baptism is remission of original sin, and is not symbolic but Sacramental. Catholics practice what Christ taught and left with those who He sent to continue His mission.
Listen to your very words. The bible says water is symbolic. You claim it is not. Whom do you suppose I will believe, you or the Word of God. You don’t have understanding for this reason. You are trapped within an interpretation of a man, not of God.
Please go back and reread what I wrote, as many times as is necessary to understand.
He was talking about the baptism of John. John the Baptizer was baptizing for repentance before Jesus entered the baptismal waters, and joined His Spirit to them.
So, when did this occur? Since all the Early Church fathers beleived that baptism is the manner in which we are born again of water and Spirit, do you think the Apostles botched it, or was it those they trained? Perhaps Timothy, Titus, and the next generation of bishops?
When Jesus said a man must be born again, he was not referring to the flesh, but the spirit. For a man is born once in the flesh and then he dies. Jesus said a man must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. He was referring to the spirit/soul of a man that was once alive, but was slain by sin. If the spirit of a man remains dead in him till the time of physical death, because his spirit/soul is dead, it is taken to where those who die in sin are reserved until the day of judgement.
Where is your proof on this. All that I know comes by way of scripture. I do not see the apostles baptizing in water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They did baptize in the name of Jesus. I do not see them laying on hands and baptizing in the name of Jesus. They did this in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.
We have showed you over and over exactly what Baptism is and what it does, using Scripture as proof. You refuse to believe.
Everything you talked about deals with salvation, the baptism of blood, not water baptism. WATER baptism saves no one. The only problem here is your denial that the power is in the blood, not the water.
You really have no clue about Baptism. This is what happens when a person picks up our Bible (2000 years after it is written by Catholics for Catholics) and then decides that he/she is smarter than the leaders of the Church that Jesus founded who have His authority and guidance to interpret Scripture infallibly. Jesus did not give this authority or ability to you or any other individual no matter how many spirits may tell you otherwise.
Given the etymology of the Greek word that is translated into English as “baptism”, though, is there really significant merit to your objection?
I think you are confusing the purpose of Baptism with the purpose of the Eucharist. If Jesus tells us that we must be Baptized by water and the Spirit to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, who are you to say otherwise? Baptism is the entrance ticket into His Church, His Kingdom on Earth. Baptism does not guarantee salvation, but gets one into the door to the means of salvation. The merits of His death on the cross are applied to our lives in our time in His Body and Blood as received in the Eucharist. All salvation relates to Baptism and the Eucharist.
You claim you understand scripture, that you have been taught by the church, but you are not correct. You have been taught by the CC, not the Church of Christ. If this was not so, then you would understand John 3 when our Lord tells us a man must be born again.
