Mass indoctrination proper
On this day 31st March happens to be the final day of our Mass indoctrination teaches which was going to lead us into the world wide baptism. Bro Elisoriano made us aware of what we call true baptism. He discussed and linked it to about four types of heart, he told us that 3 out of those four heart were evil and could only be changed by the mercies of God through baptism.
Act 22:16 made us understand how baptism could wash away our sins and make us new creatures in the glory of God. Bro Elisoriano made us understand that baptism means change, a proper baptism must lead to a total change from the past life to a new life in Christ Jesus.
Which place should this baptism be carried out? All the commandments and act of baptism should be done in the house of the Lord. Whatsoever commandments is made for those who submitted themselves under the law of God and this should be done in the house.
1 Timothy 3:15 explains this better clearly that the house of the Lord is a place where the Lords baptism should be done, commandments are subjected to because the church is the pillar of the truth.
The church of God is the house of God and if baptism is a commandment, then it must be in the house of God. Whatever baptism which occurs in a church built by man can be classified us baptized. This was made clear in the scripture us taught by our brother and the house of God which is the church of the living God is the place where baptism is done as a commandment of God.
In Matthew 28: 19 throws more light on a perfect definition of baptism which is in the father, Son and the Holy Spirit and this is a proof of the commandments of the Lord. This is very important for us as Christians to understand the true meaning of baptism, Jesus is the true teacher of baptism. Bro Eli also said that baptism should also be done according to law and not by what is seen done by the Roman Catholic priests. It is wrong to say by the name of the father but we should know correctly that baptism should be in the name of the father. This is the basic condition that is used as an emphasis and should be made known to Christians in accordance to baptism "In the name of the father" Not by the name of the father. We have learnt that all things are called by Gods name.
- Moral Lessons from today's mass indoctrination
There was massive teaches about baptism and reflecting on what was taught, most of the baptisms i have withnessed can never be considered true baptism. Mostly people get baptized because they will be able to eat with the Lord during communion service. Sometimes they life after has no resemblance to the great privilege they have recieved in the name of our Lord. A change of heart and spirit must motivate these individual to carry on Christ like character so others can emulate these good features and also turn their lives around to Christ.
We are baptized in one body and must be done in the name of the Father, the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Baptism should be held in the church of God, this is what the Lord commands.
How does today's final Mass indoctrination affect me into being a better person every day? Baptism is a personal decision every Christian should try to put into consideration and we should all do this at the right place and then come to think of it what place? The house of the Lord and this is the church and this must be done in the name of the Lord and today I have decided to accept true baptism into my life and I know I've made the right decision today and I will see new changes in my life starting from today amen.
