 very sorry because of my fault, it was muted, we will start again. So yes, we were looking at the doctor of the church last class, today we will be looking at the sacraments, we are dealing with the topic of autobiographism, we looked at three points regarding why we first of all under code of autobiographism ceremony, three points on why we do it, first to express our repentance in the time of John the Baptist, the autobiographism ceremony was specifically so that people can show in public that they have reflected and then the second point that we saw is that Jesus declared that this is something that we should do to fulfill all righteousness. So as an act of obedience, we choose to undergo the autobiographism ceremony in the same way that Jesus did. The third reason why we do this is so that we can publicly declare that we are followers of Jesus. In those times, the followers who particularly rabbi would undergo the autobiographism to show that they are his disciples. For instance, John the Baptist when he baptized people, they showed today when we undergo the water baptism ceremony, we are declaring that we are not just disciples of any human teacher, but we are disciples of Jesus Christ himself. So these are the three main reasons why we undergo water baptism. We also looked at by whose authority this baptism ceremony is conducted. So we looked at Acts 238 where it says repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ. So in Jesus' name by the authority which he has given, the leaders of the church baptize the believers. So the authority to perform this ceremony, to baptize people, that authority is given by Jesus to the leaders of the church. And then from there, let's move into what kind of baptism is considered acceptable in the scriptures, especially when we look at the examples given in the early church. So if we could have any one person read out for us, Acts chapter 8 verses 36 to 38, Acts 8, 36 to 38, which talks about the eunuch to whom Philip ministered. Acts chapter 8 verses 36, now as they went down the road, they came into some water and the Enoch said, see here is water, what hinders me from being baptized was 37. Then Philip said, if you believe with all your heart, you may and he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God was 38. So he commanded the chariot to stand still and both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and he baptized him. Yes, so in those days baptism was a common practice, people were aware of this. John the Baptist used to baptize, there were other rabbis also who performed the baptism ceremony. People would come to undergo the baptism ceremony to show that they are repentant of their sins and then after that they would formally start being taught by the Rabbi, by the teacher on how to honor God and how to follow God in the right manner, how to follow the mosaic covenant. So these are all things which were part of this baptism practice of those days. So when Philip said to the eunuch, let's go to some water and have the baptism, the eunuch was not puzzled, this was a custom that he was familiar with and he also understood that this baptism ceremony is not just going to bring him into the fold of some Rabbi, it's actually going to make him a disciple of Jesus Christ who was being talked about in the scroll, in the Isaiah scroll which he was reading. So they both get down from the chariot, they go to the water and Philip baptizes him over there. So we see that in the early church, all the disciples and all the apostles used the ritual of water baptism. They did not use sprinkling baptism or any other forms of baptism, mainly probably because of Romans chapter 6, that idea which is conveyed over there about a spiritual baptism. So the complete immersion into the water better represents what is talked about in Romans chapter 6. So we will look at that in a little bit of greater detail a little later, but it is mainly because of the idea which is presented in Romans chapter 6 about the spiritual baptism which we have all undergone at the moment of salvation. So water baptism makes more sense because in the sense there's an immersion right into the waters. So water baptism is generally considered acceptable because of this and one, another thing that we see from this story of the eunuch is that you don't have to be very holy and grow in God and learn everything there is to learn about the scriptures before undergoing baptism. You do, you undergo the baptism, you can undergo the baptism immediately after your salvation experience. So you get saved, you place your faith in Jesus, you repent of your sins, immediately one minute after that you can undergo the water baptism because there's a belief among some people that you have to reach some level of spiritual maturity before you can be water baptized, but that is not what we see over here in many examples in the book of Acts where people got saved immediately after getting saved within one day they would get baptized. So water baptism, for water baptism you don't have to reach some high level of spiritual maturity. Another thing that we see regarding the water baptism is that you're doing this as a declaration of repentance, of having accepted the Lord as your master, but just the ceremony on its own cannot make a person spiritually mature because the washing of the word will continue on a daily basis. Every day, even as you meditate upon the scriptures, the scriptures will cleanse you, cleanse you in your mind, in your heart. So that continuous cleansing and that continuous growth process is something that you go through throughout your entire Christian life. So just being water baptized does not make a person like Christ, completely Christ-like. You do not arrive spiritually by just getting water baptized, that's just the starting point. After that you continue your walk with God and then you grow stage by stage slowly. So water baptism on its own is not enough to bring about spiritual growth. Did you have a question? Go ahead. Ma'am, a scripture says in John 3.5, this is answered very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of the water and of the spirit. Correct. So this kingdom of God is referred to being saved, is my first question. And the second thing is we grew up in what you call this baptism, a childbirth and we've gone through a process of salvation by accepting Jesus as our Savior. So there is water, baptism becomes mandatory for us. If a person has undergone baptism as an infant, would they need to do it again as a grown-up is the question? Yes, that's my second question. And the first question is, being saved is similar or is it the same as to enter the kingdom of God? Yeah. So in that conversation that Jesus was having with Nicodemus, he was talking to a Pharisee, someone who would be very familiar with the Old Testament scriptures. And the people in the Old Testament were always constantly waiting for a day when the Messiah would come to them and he would establish the kingdom of God on the earth. So they always believed that a descendant of David would one day come and he would establish a physical kingdom on this earth where Israel would get back its sovereign power and all the foreigners who have been ruling over them would be defeated and driven out. So that was the dream of the Old Testament people. So Nicodemus was also looking forward to that kind of a physical kingdom. And so when he comes to Jesus, he wants to know whether Jesus is going to be this Messiah who will establish this physical kingdom on the earth. But then Jesus starts talking about spiritual concepts. So he talks about a spiritual kingdom rather than a physical kingdom. Yes, in the future a physical kingdom would be established on the earth. There are scriptures in the Old Testament which talk about that. But the first step is a spiritual kingdom being formed. So Jesus says to Nicodemus, if you want to be part of this spiritual kingdom, you would have to undergo a second birth. Being born the first time is not adequate. So you would have to undergo a birth by the spirit as well. So what would be the kingdom of God when Jesus was talking over here? He is talking about people becoming part of a kingdom where Jesus himself is the ruler, where he is the king of kings and Lord of lords. So everyone who becomes followers of Jesus gains citizenship rights in a new kingdom under the lordship and kingship of Jesus. So what is the kingdom of God that Jesus is talking about in this particular instance where Nicodemus is going on? He is saying, I am the Messiah. I am establishing a spiritual kingdom which of course ultimately would turn into a physical kingdom as well. So if you come and become my follower, you become a part of this kingdom of God. So yes, a part of that concept would be that they would, after death, people who are followers of, who are citizens of this kingdom, after death would go to heaven. So in that sense, the term saved can be used. So the people of that time, the Jewish people in their minds, yes, they were thinking of going into heaven to be with God, but they also were deeply longing for an actual kingdom. So Nicodemus would have understood the term in both the spiritual sense and in the physical sense. He would have gone on to think that one day he is going to be part of the physical kingdom of Jesus and he also would have had that hope that, yes, for eternity he will be with God and he will be raised from the dead. That's the belief which even Mary and Martha had because that's what Jesus taught them. So this kingdom of God is a kingdom which enables you to be raised from the dead one day and you will eternally live with God in his kingdom. So yes, saved in that sense. Okay, there's a bigger picture than just going into heaven. So they were thinking in terms of an actual kingdom which will come and establish itself on the earth under the rule of Yahweh. The other thought about whether a person who has undergone infant baptism, whether it would be necessary for them to also again undergo baptism as a grown-up, we will get to that point a little bit later. Oh, okay, let's deal with it right now. Okay, so like I had said last time, it's like in the last five minutes and I really could not get into much detail. So just to elaborate a little more on that point, the whole idea of infant baptism was first introduced by the Catholic Church before the time of the Reformation. So like I had said in the last class, they basically believed that three things need to be done to be able to enter heaven. So the first thing is that once the baby is born, that baby would have to be baptized and that will contribute towards that baby being washed clean of its sins and being made ready for salvation. Now as the baby grows up and starts understanding the rituals of the church and all of that, one day when the child is around 11, 12 or whatever, then the child would also start partaking in the Lord's table, the wafer and the wine. So that will be the second thing which a person needs to do to be able to enter into heaven and then throughout that person's life after this step of having taken the sacraments, that child would have to, that person who was never grown up would have to continue confessing their sins to a priest and doing penance for the sins which they have committed. So these three things the church declared, the Roman Catholic Church declared are important for a person to be able to enter into heaven. And so when the Reformers came along, you know Martin Luther and the other Reformers, they said salvation is by faith alone. So the baptism ceremony cannot get you into heaven. Doing penance for your sins cannot get you into heaven. Salvation is by faith alone. So the Reformers protested against the Catholic Church and they came to be known as Protestants because they were protesting against all the rituals and the man-made customs that people were relying upon. So they protested against the Catholic Church and they started the Reformation Movement where people were brought back to the scriptures and what the scriptures actually teach. So in the beginning when Martin Luther took his stand saying that salvation is by faith alone, he was very very clear about his stand on the baptism ceremony. This is what he said in 1520 in one of his writings. Now this was a writing called the Babylonian Captivity of the Church. So in that writing of his, this is basically what he says. He says it is not baptism that justifies or benefits anyone but it is faith in that word of promise in which baptism is added. This faith justifies and fulfills that which baptism signifies. Those are the actual wordings which are there in that particular booklet which he wrote. This is basically what he's saying. He's saying in that pamphlet, in that booklet that salvation cannot be gained by baptism. It's the faith which you place in the promise that Jesus has made. It is that faith which you are placing in the promise of Jesus that will get you salvation and baptism only signifies that baptism is basically you acting out and showing that you have placed your faith in this promise in what Jesus has said. So he clearly emphasized that salvation is by faith and salvation is not by the baptism ceremony. This was in 1520. Two years later in a sermon in which he was preaching, he again touched upon this idea and he said faith without the sacrament of baptism could still be salvific. What would that mean in ordinary English? He's basically saying even if a person has not undergone the sacrament of water baptism or whichever kind of baptism, if the person has not undergone the sacrament of baptism, even then the faith which they have placed in Jesus will be salvific. It will gain them salvation. So up to that point, he was very, very clear that your salvation depends on the faith which you place in Jesus. He does not say that your salvation depends on baptism. Then later on in life, I'm not exactly sure what happened. He kind of went a little off track in some of his teachings. I mean Martin Luther is one person that we all respect and look up to because he's the one who took a stand along with some other good persons, good believers against the Catholic Church and re-established the authority of the scripture. So we have great respect for him. But there are a few things about him. He was wrong in some of his teachings. So later on in life, there was this group, a denomination which developed known as the Ana Baptists. The Ana Baptists who lived during his lifetime, they said infant baptism was done to a baby. The baby didn't even know what was being done. The baby could not open its mouth and say, I have placed my faith in Jesus for salvation. So what was done for the baby cannot really have any spiritual significance. So the Ana Baptists said when a person grows up, he needs to make up his own mind whether he wants to place his faith in Jesus or not. So he will personally choose to place his faith in Jesus, make a declaration of that and as an adult, he would have to undergo the water baptism ceremony again. Only then will it have spiritual significance and benefit for him. So this is what the Ana Baptists said. For some reasons, Martin Luther took a strong dislike to the Ana Baptists and he wanted to critique them, criticize them and so he wrote another booklet in 1528 which is called Concerning Re-Baptism. That's the pamphlet which he wrote in 1528 and over here in this new booklet, his theology has undergone a change. He says over here that baptism is like a bath for the soul that will recreate the sinner. So now he started saying that it is baptism which will gain you your salvation. It almost sounds like that because he says, you know that when you undergo baptism, it bathes your soul and it recreates you is what he said in this booklet and then he actually goes on to say the best kind of baptism is okay the most certain form of baptism is infant baptism he says because he argues, a grown-up may lie about their faith. So they may go to the leaders of the church and say, oh yes I believe in Jesus and I have made a commitment to him but they may be lying. A baby on the other hand cannot lie. So baby is innocent. So the most perfect form of baptism is infant baptism and it's a bath for the soul which recreates the sinner. His teachings seem to have gone very off track by 1528 when it came to this whole idea of baptism. So we are not exactly sure what he had against the Anabaptist, why he took this stand but later many believers protestants agreed that what the Anabaptist said is very valid because a baby cannot really express its faith in Jesus. It still does not even understand all of these spiritual concepts. So even if a person has undergone infant baptism, it would be good for them to you know as grown-ups publicly declare whom they believe in, whom have they become disciples of and undergo the baptism ceremony especially because it also you know points towards Romans chapter 6 and what has already happened to us spiritually. So the Lutherans believe very strongly in infant baptism because it's come down to them all the way from Martin Luther. So they hold on to that and this one main scripture which the Lutherans use even today that would be 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 21. So if somebody could read out for us 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 21. There is also an anti-type which now saves us baptism, not the removal of the filth of the flesh for the answer of a good conscience towards God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. So here in 1 Peter chapter 3 verse 21, Peter is saying that the water is an anti-type, the water is a symbol of baptism. What kind of a baptism does this water symbolize? A baptism which doesn't just clean the dirt on your body, it's a baptism that gives you a clear conscience towards God in the sense it cleans you up on the inside and it gives you a clean conscience before God. So Peter basically says over here that water is a symbol of a divine baptism in which God actually cleans up the person and gives them a clear conscience. So here in this verse Peter is saying that the water baptism is a symbol which is pointing towards the divine baptism which God does inside a person. So Lutherans basically say a baby has to undergo this ceremony because when it undergoes the ceremony, it receives a clear conscience before God. On the other hand, if the child does not get water baptized and dies in its babyhood, they say, oh it has not received that clear conscience from God. But we need to observe this one fact. Peter when he talks about water and water baptism, he says it is a symbol of the baptism which God does in giving a person a clear conscience. So the water is a physical symbol pointing towards what God has done spiritually. The divine baptism which has taken place inside us, the water is a symbol, it's pointing towards the divine baptism which has been done inside us believers. So Romans chapter 6 verse 4 talks about the divine baptism which God himself did inside each person at the moment of salvation. Let's go to Romans chapter 6 verse 4. We have read this verse many times but to read it once again, Romans 6 verse 4. Romans chapter 6 verse 4. Therefore we were worried with him through baptism into death that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. All right, so this is something that the early church was teaching the believers. In that moment when you place your faith in Jesus, something divine happens to you. We have talked about this again and again in our different doctrines that old sinful fallen spirit being that you and I were. That person literally dies along with Jesus, gets crucified with him, gets buried with him through baptism into death. So the waters are like death. Okay, I mean if you're comparing it to the water baptism ceremony, person is buried along with Jesus in death but that person doesn't stay dead because in the same way Jesus Christ was raised up, the believer is also raised up and when he is raised up, he no longer comes out as the old sinful spirit being. Now when he comes out, he comes out as a new living being. So these are the, this is the baptism into the death of Christ and a resurrection along with him being raised along with him and it says in that verse, Romans is for last portion, so that we too may live a new life. So now we are living this new life as a new spiritual being, a new spirit being. So this, what God has divinely done for us in the moment of salvation, 1st Peter 321 is telling us that the water baptism is a symbol of this, of what God did in Romans 6.4. So the water baptism is only symbolizing that. So doing that to a baby, without the babies even understanding what is being done, does not help in any way. On the other hand, when a grown up who has understood what Jesus has done for them, having understood it when they undergo the water baptism, they are doing it consciously saying, this is what God has done for me in the spiritual realm and now I'm acting it out physically, so that everyone knows that this is what has happened to me on the inside and now I'm a new creature on the inside. So you act it out physically as a symbol of what was done to you at the moment of salvation by God himself in Romans 6.4. So therefore, it makes more sense for a grown up to undergo this ceremony and so if a person has undergone infant baptism, it is, it did not hold any significance for the baby when the baby underwent it, but as a grown up when that person can do it consciously, knowing what Jesus has done for them, believing that what Jesus has done is effective and making a choice that because it is effective, they are now going to follow Him and so with that awareness when they undergo the water baptism ceremony, it gains spiritual significance and the power of God is released into that believer's life. Now in last class, the thing that we mentioned is that why are we observing these two sacraments of the church? Not just because it's a nice ritual, we are doing these two things because it actually releases divine power into our lives. So when a person undergoes this water baptism ceremony, having understood why they are doing it, having understood the spiritual significance of it in Romans chapter 6 and when they do it consciously, having understood what they are doing because they have believed fully in what Jesus has done, God's power is released into their life. So they actually are able to start living in a new way just like it says in Romans 6-4, they realize that I have been raised up along with Jesus and now I am a new spirit being. So yes, I can live in a new way and the power which is released into their life because of the faith which they now have, that power starts changing them, it starts sanctifying them. So we don't just do it because it's a nice ceremony, we are doing it because out of faith and because we are doing it as a faith step, literally the power of God is released into our lives and we are able to start living in a new way just like it says in Romans 6-4. So any of us who are watching, if we have not yet undergone the water baptism ceremony, now that you are aware of what was done in Romans 6-4 at the moment of salvation, now that you have understood that, act it out by actually going into the waters because then you will really be physically acting out what was already done for you by Jesus and because you are doing it as a step of faith and saying, yes, I believe that this is what Jesus did for me, His power will be released into your life and it will help you to become more and more renewed in your new life which Jesus has given you. So this is the spiritual significance of the water baptism ceremony. The water baptism ceremony is pointing towards this spiritual truth. If no one has any questions, we will move into the other sacrament. If anyone posts any questions here, I can answer but otherwise we will get into the second sacrament, the second spiritual ritual which we perform. That would be the Lord's table. So we celebrate the Lord's table because again we are doing this as a step of faith saying that we believe in the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord and our belief in the victory which this has produced. So the first reason why we participate in the Lord's table is to affirm and acknowledge and say, yes, I really believe that Jesus died, that Jesus was buried, that Jesus was resurrected and he rose up victorious. So now I am participating in His death to sin. I am also participating in the resurrected life where I can now live as a free person, free from the bondage of sin. So when you are taking the Lord's elements at the Lord's table, you are literally saying I believe in the work of the cross and I am choosing to participate in this work of the cross which is what we see in 1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 16. So if someone can read out for us, 1 Corinthians 10 verse 16. 1 Corinthians 10 verse 16. Isn't that the correct verse? Yes, the cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ, the bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? Yeah, in the version which you read out, it says communion which is a more not a very familiar word in our normal everyday English. So NIV puts it as participation. So it says it's not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks, a participation in the blood of Christ and it's not the bread that we break, a participation in the body of Christ. So we are literally saying, yes I believe in what Jesus has done on the cross for me and now I am participating in it. So you literally physically act it out by eating that wafer, by drinking that juice. Even as you're doing it, you're saying I fully believe that I too have died to sin, that now through Jesus I too have been raised to a new life. I will now have victory in all aspects of my life because of what Jesus has done for me. So you're literally acting out your faith. So in the same way the water baptism was a step of faith where you are saying, yes I have risen up from the waters of the grave into a new life. In the same way, even when you're participating in the elements, you're saying, yes I'm literally participating in what Jesus did on the cross for me. It's a declaration of faith and when you take it with this awareness that you're literally participating in the victory which Jesus has won for you, the power of God is released into your life. So both of these things that we are doing, we are doing it in faith and when we believe and act it out, the power of God is released into our life. So the Lord's table participating in it is an expression of our faith in the death, burial and resurrection. Also the second thing which the Lord's table expresses, it expresses the fact that we are now in union with the Lord. We looked at that just now in 1 Corinthians 10, 16. We are in union with him. We have participated in his death, burial and resurrection and now with the new life which we are living, we are still in union with him. So the union didn't just happen at that moment of salvation where you participated in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. You continue to be in union with him. So when you're holding that wafer and you're holding that grave juice, not only are you saying, yes I believe in the work of the cross and that I am now participating in it, you're also saying, I continue to choose every day to abide in this Jesus. So you are continuing to be in union with him on a daily basis and not just that, you are also in union with other believers. Now that would be, so because 1 Corinthians 10, 16 talks about you participating in the blood and body of Christ and the next verse, this is what it says. So if someone could read out, just so that we get a kind of revision, if you could read out both the verses, verse 16 and 17, 1 Corinthians 10, 16 and 17. So there are two aspects being mentioned over here. Yeah, 1 Corinthians 10, the cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the coming of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the coming of the body of Christ? For we though many are one bread and one body, we all partake of that one bread. Yes, so yes, you are in union with the Lord like it says in verse 16 but never forget, you're also now in union with all the other believers because all these other believers are one single body and Jesus is the head. So you can't act like a lone ranger, you know, saying, oh me, my family and my faith, I know and whatever happens to the other believers, you know, I don't care. No, now you see you're part of that one body, you are part of that one loaf. So if you're sitting over there with a wrong attitude towards other believers, then you really are not taking partaking of the Lord's table with the right attitude. So you need to be aware that you're in union with the Lord but you also have to be aware that you are in union with the rest of the body of Christ. You can't just separate yourself, self from them and say, you know, I don't care about them. So it says over here, because there is one loaf, we who are many are one body, for we all share the one loaf. That one body of Jesus, we are sharing in it and now we have become part of him and we are participating in him as one body. So unity among believers is equally important. We are in union with the Lord. We also need to be in union with one another, which is why, you know, if you look at it from this context, Ephesians 4, 29 to 31 becomes very, very significant. If we can have someone read out Ephesians 4, 29 to 31, which talks about what attitude we should have towards one another, you know, in the family of Christ, Ephesians 4, 29 to 31. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification that it may impart grace to the hearers and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, glamour and evil speaking be put away from you with all malice and be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another, even as God and Christ forgive you. Yeah, I was looking at a question posted there, but yes, those verses are very significant. Okay, let's just complete this thought first. So imagine, now you are one body along with all the other believers and together all of you are participating in the work of the cross, which Jesus has done for us. So now you can't be divided among yourselves and Ephesians 4, 29 to 31 actually emphasizes that, you know, if people are having unwholesome talk against each other, backbiting each other, criticizing each other, you know, if they are entertaining bitterness towards each other, like it says in verse 21, yeah, it says, there is rage and anger, brawling and slander, you know, slander is basically you saying bad things about the PR, about another believer, along with every form of malice. If you're indulging in all of this, what happens? It grieves the Holy Spirit of God with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. So that word grieve which is over there, it literally talks about almost physical pain. It's something that is very, very hurting for God because you're actually hurting his body. You know, I mean, if I were to take a blade and if I were to cut my finger, it's such a painful thing. I mean, it's something that I'm doing to my body. So in the same way when all the believers are the body of Jesus, if the members of the body are hurting each other and cutting each other with their words and their attitudes and their actions, it literally grieves, it hurts. So that word grieve, it talks about emotional pain, but it's an emotional pain, that Greek word. It's an emotional pain that almost is physically hurtful. That is basically what you would be doing to the Holy Spirit when you are living in bitterness towards another believer or you're speaking unwholesome words which will drag them down or you're slandering them behind their back. All of these are highly dangerous attitudes. So when we sit with the elements in our hand, the wafer and the grave juice, it's not just enough to ask ourselves, oh, did I honor the Lord this week? We also need to ask ourselves, did I honor him in the way I treated the rest of the body of Christ? And if there are wrong attitudes in your heart, you would need to correct them because the Lord's table not only is pointing towards the finished work of the cross, it is also pointing to the fact that there is one loaf and all of us are participating together in that one loaf who is Jesus. You know, we are feeding on him and we are receiving new life from him, so that unity matters. We have about three minutes left. Please, if I don't need the audio feedback, mute it. Sorry, some issues here. Yeah, so coming to Parmita's question, she has said that she did not receive the certificate which certifies saying that a person has been water baptized and now she has moved to this, not her, but a friend of hers, a friend of Parmita's did not receive her water baptism certificate from the church where she had undergone that sacrament and then she moved to a new church and in the new church, because of the custom they have in their new church, they are not allowing her to participate in the Lord's table because she does not have her water baptism certificate. So the simple question is, can she just undergo the water baptism ceremony once again so that she can get her paperwork so that she can participate in the Lord's table. I think it is perfectly fine because how many ever times the believer does it, they are basically pointing towards the divine work which Jesus did, which the Holy Spirit did inside that person at the moment of salvation because what was divine, the divine baptism, it happened in what is mentioned in Romans 6, 4 and 1 Peter 3, 21, that actually took place. It is a divine baptism done by God's hands. So that happened, that has already taken place. Now, you are only physically acting it out. So now this, because this particular person has not been given the paperwork which is required for us to participate in the activities of the church and all of that. If she does it a second time, she is just simply acting it out a second time and telling people, this is what God did for me divinely at the moment of salvation. So it is not necessary for a person to do it again and again but in her case because of her circumstances, if she does it, there is absolutely nothing wrong in it because she is only pointing towards a divine work which was already done inside her by God Himself. She is only physically acting it out. So I believe, it's my personal belief that yes, it would be perfectly all right for her to do it one more time. But is it necessary for all of us believers to keep doing this on a daily, on a regular basis, maybe once in three years, once in four years, not necessary because you make the public declaration once. So but in her situation, yes, it would make sense for her to do that. All right. Thank you. We'll continue when we get back from the break.
