Baptism in the Bible

What does St. Paul say about Baptism? And how does the way St. Paul describes baptism in the Bible reveal why Baptism is so powerful?

6:07 shout out to the Sisters and who made the lessons possible by making the information so available (and I live in a Muslim Majority County, Christians are 0.2%), who taught us these things (almost all of the things he mentioned) about new life when I was a child. That your old self dies and a new is born from baptism and then boom! (Lol, sisters didn't say boom, lol, they were very loving like mother and sisters pure love) You are a Christian.

Aahh, old memories. How cool it is to be raised catholic. How cool it is to be taught by people who live in monastery. You can really feel Christ in their ways of I wish the world was like

If I think about how fallen the world has become I can't sleep, but God knows all, and I trust in Him that He does the best and His will be done... So the worries go away.

The three Rites of Initiation into the Catholic faith:

The Sacrament of Baptism voids the original sin of Adam and Eve which all their children bear. 

This is followed by a special outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Confirmation where the Holy Spirit gives us the increased ability to practice the Catholic faith in every aspect of our lives and to witness Christ in every situation.

The third is the Sacrament of Communion where one receives the holy Eucharist.
