Question: “ The Catholic Church teaches that there are three types of Baptism. They are Baptism by water, blood or desire:

The Sacrament of Baptism by water, either by sprinkling or by immersion, both being valid.
Baptism by Martyrdom, also called the "Baptism by blood," refers to the martyrdom of the believer who is killed for his/her faith before he/she had a chance to be baptized.
Baptism of Desire applies to those who wishing to be baptized, die before receiving the Sacrament. This desire may have been explicit (fully and clearly expressed) or implicit (implied but not directly expressed.)” ³¹

God, what do you want to say about this?

God’s answer:

True Christians
It’s the desire that counts.

Question: So, what you are saying is that being baptized in a church doesn’t necessarily mean one is a Christian?

God’s answer:

Only a member of the church.
Christianity is much more

Question: God, What is a Christian?

God’s answer:

The Faithful
One who believes in Me and abides in Me. A Christian is someone who is Christ-like.

Meaning to be faithful if to be full of faith and loyal to the ways of God.

Question: Please confirm?

God’s answer:

You live up to My name.
Be true to who you are.

Meaning: You live up to My name, is from the Chapter: the Road less travelled.

I christen you after Me.
You live up to My name.

This is what being a baptized Christian truly means. We carry the name of Christ so we have to live up the His name.

Be true to who you are, is to be true to God who is our Father, our self.

Question: The church teaches that only those who are baptized, as how baptism is defined by the church, can enter Heaven. Based on what you have taught, this is definitely not true. Can you please, in your own words, rectify this wrong teaching?

God’s answer:

I Am a just God.
