What is baptism, really

| As it was that day at Bethany, in the Jordan River. |
In baptism, a person enters the water, guided by the hands of the baptizer, a man or woman in Earthly corruption. Many lives of error, mistakes, and frequent breaks with the Law of YHVH, as given us by the Ten Commandments; in short, sin. We enter the water in sin, in violation of the Living Law still yet radiating from the Seat of the Most High In Heaven and His earthly throne, the mercy seat over which lies this mirror tablet of the Laws of Heaven and Earth.
It is the mind and body that is cleansed and made ready. Ready for the Holy Spirit, awaiting to descend and enter. Then the person breaks forth from the water and upon THEIR VERY FIRST BREATH, they breathe in the Holy Spirit of the Most High Adonai, through the atonement of their sin, His blood on the Mercy Seat. Upon that first gasp and intake of air, they are born, not of man, but of Almighty God, YHVH.
The mind is cleansed of old attachments and links to the lawless one. It is free. Free of sin, washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb, spotless, blameless, and True.
I have seen it countless times. In my own baptism, witnessed by my son Matthew, it was so. And it is so for all mankind. If they accept His Holy Sacrifice and wish to become a son of God.
It is my wish, that this wish, be in your heart.
