God’s statement on Baptism

Meaning: This is a concurrence that the baptism of a person should be acceptable across all Christian churches for as long as it follows the Trinitarian formula.

Question: Should people get baptized in the church?

God’s answer:

Question: I have come across situations  where adults want to be baptized but the bureaucracy makes it hard for them to be baptized. In which case, they are unable to receive Holy Communion until the time they do. What is your stand on this? Can these people receive Holy Communion?

God’s answer:

Meaning: When Jesus told the apostles to baptize people, it was an instruction to make people a believer in Jesus in Christ, not for baptism to serve as a constraint.

God’s answer is a firm reminder of what He meant. He cites three biblical verses:

1. During the last supper, God said: “Take this all of you and eat of this” and repeated the same phrase with the wine “Take this all of you and drink of it…”. ALL was to partake of His sacrifice.

2. I Am the good shepherd refers to Jesus statement: “ I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for my sheep.   And there are other sheep I have that are not of this fold, and I must lead these too. They too will listen to my voice, and there will be only one flock, one shepherd.”

3. He who believes in Me shall have eternal life is a bible passage.

His message to all those who believe in Him but find it difficult to be baptized because of church bureaucracy is this: Under the law of God , you have the right to receive Him in the Holy Eucharist and whatever sacraments that He has institutionalized for the salvation of men.
