Faith Q&A › My Faith

What is Baptism?

The answer

It is a holy Baptism, in which we are born once again from above of water and Spirit by our immersion in the water three times, in the Name of the Holy Trinity, “of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” (Matt. 28:19).

The Mystery of Baptism:

The first of the Seven Mysteries, and is like the door through which the believer enters to God; “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, He cannot enter into the Kingdom of God” (John 3:5).

It should be noted that when the Mystery of Baptism takes place, the Baptised person is accompanied by his own guardian angel.
