THE SIGN(S)
1. Water
2 . Words - "I baptize you in the Name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
INSTITUTION BY JESUS CHRIST
"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
holy Spirit..."
Matthew
28:19
"Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom
of God without being born from above." Nicodemus said
to him, "How can a person once grown old be born again?
Surely he cannot reenter his mother's womb and be born again,
can he?" Jesus answered, "Amen, amen, I say to
you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born
of water and Spirit. What is born of flesh is flesh and what
is born of spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I told
you, 'You must be born from above.'
John
3:3-7
THE GRACE (effect)
The effects of Baptism are:
-
the washing away of original sin, as well as
all actual sin if any exists;
-
remits all punishment due on account of such
sins;
-
imprints the character of a Christian;
-
makes us children of God, members of the Church,
and heirs to Paradise, and enables us to receive the other
sacraments.
