The Sacrament of Baptism
Baptism: By which we are born into the new life of Christ
The fruits of the Sacrament are:
- Remission of Original Sin
- Birth into the new life by which man becomes an adoptive son of the Father, a member of Christ, and a temple of the Holy Spirit
- Incorporation into the Church, the Body of Christ, and participation in the priesthood of Christ
- The imprinting, on the soul, of an indelible spiritual sign, the character which consecrates the baptized person for Christian worship. Because of this character, Baptism cannot be repeated.
